PCT Part 7, Finishing the Desert (mile 558 – 652)

Day 44 (mile 558 - 583) If you've noticed, I skipped days 42 and 43 - these were just uneventful zero days in Tehachapi so there's not much to write about them. Overall I really enjoyed the town and the food and the people! But to be honest I can't remember much of what I … Continue reading PCT Part 7, Finishing the Desert (mile 558 – 652) →

PCT Part 6, I Would Walk 500 Miles… (mile 444 – 558)

...and I would walk 500 more. https://youtu.be/tbNlMtqrYS0 I had to do it, sorry. Day 35 (mile 444 - 465) Today was the day I'd get back on trail. First I needed to resupply which I did at Trader Joe's so I knew I'd be eating great for the next week (one of the perks of … Continue reading PCT Part 6, I Would Walk 500 Miles… (mile 444 – 558) →

PCT Part 5, Onward to Los Angeles (mile 369 – 444)

Day 28 (mile 369 - 386) We got a ride out of Wrightwood from a mom who just dropped her kids off at school. I think everyone in this town knew about us hikers and their eagerness to help made it that much harder to leave. But we had 1 day of nice weather to … Continue reading PCT Part 5, Onward to Los Angeles (mile 369 – 444) →

PCT Part 4, Into the Clouds (mile 266 – 369)

Day (mile 266 - 266) Another zero day in Big Bear, this was probably my laziest day yet but I enjoyed the rest. I did some standard town chores, including resupplying my food. This is a typical supply of food for 5 days - 2500 calories, 80 grams of protein per day. Not the healthiest … Continue reading PCT Part 4, Into the Clouds (mile 266 – 369) →

PCT Part 3, The Rollercoaster (mile 180 – 266)

Day 13 (mile 180 - 180) Today was a zero day - a day of no hiking. In fact we decided to take today and tomorrow off since Idyllwild seemed like a cool town to spend some time in. The first order of business was to have some coffee which I hadn't had for 2 … Continue reading PCT Part 3, The Rollercoaster (mile 180 – 266) →
