Never stop exercising, always have a new goal, 70-year-old El Cajon magician advises
El Cajon resident Dana Law, left, poses with his hiking buddy Bill Redman in April 2016 at the northern end of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail after completing the route. The two men started and finished the trail together, but did some sections in between separately.
A professional magician for some three decades, Law began his hike-the-entire-Pacific-Crest-Trail project in May 2003. He started at the Mexican border with two companions, one of whom refused to accept that he could quickly become dehydrated. That guy ultimately passed out partway through the first day and they had to have a helicopter come rescue him, Law said, adding, “we never saw him again” on the trail.
As a respite, he’s created a route where he can go home at night. He calls it the San Diego County Trans Urban Walk — a meandering route from the Mexican border to Temecula, passing through many of the region’s open space preserves. On Tuesday, he plans to hike the final segment of the route he’s crafted, and then he’ll have to come up with a new challenge to squeeze between family trips to Europe, magic performances, and presentations at area libraries.
