A few more photos borrowed from Steve and Jared. Teresa in front, me in back crossing a section that was barely there this year: This section is worse this year than it was last year. Last year there was at least a path to walk on, though it was still shifty. This year there is [...]

Continuing on from Part 1. Waking up in Big Crow Basin is a treat. Wide and open the sun slips up early, warming one up. Well, it did a bit but then finally the promised bad weather did come. Never bad though – as we were packing up a quick storm blew across us for [...]

This was a trip that I had promised my friend Steve we would finish – I had done it last year with Teresa and Jeff in a snowstorm but he had been unable to make it. We had waited since late October for the snows to melt. Rounding up Teresa to do it again, we [...]

As we have mentioned before, we are helping out our friends Tom and Tori on their thru-hike of the PCT this summer. I have been doing a few mail drops for them. They have a few areas where on trail resupply is very limited (or cannot be done without a long hitchhike), so on those [...]

Not often do I covet someones new gear so badly as I did last night – I was opening up a box that had arrived for my friend Tori, to make sure everything was fine before I shipped it on to her – and wow….I was j-e-a-l-o-u-s of her new pack. A ULA Circuit pack [...]

It doesn’t look like a lot but there it is: everything our friends Tom and Tori will need for their thru hike of the PCT. I was picked to be the drop shipper (must be those mad packing skllzs of mine or something). Last night they dropped off their packages and everything I will need [...]
