Hey everyone! I haven't forgotten about this place, I swear. Managing all this in the format I like is a serious pain to do from a phone. I really like detailed accounts of all my days and don't want entries being made that are just a brief list. That means I had to stay in …

I’m Still Alive
Hey errbody! I'm in Tehachapi, I've been here for a while. Then I went down to LA to see an old friend. Now I'm back in Tehachapi and I still have all my town chores to do. I may be putting off this last stretch of desert a little bit. Just a tad. Starting things …
Day 43 – It Always Works Out.. Ish
I woke up in the abandoned campground and got my stuff ready, looking at my maps while I chewed on my broken poptarts. 24 miles to Agua Dulce. I've never done 24 miles before... so, why not? Let's do it. I got my stuff together and made my way back to the PCT. Naturally it …
Day 36 – Hello Angeles National Forest
I kept waking up throughout the night due to either the wind or being cold. I was too lazy to put on extra layers and I paid the price. I also didn't clip my quilt down to my sleeping pad like I usually do. Could I have done any of these things during the night …
It’s All Good
Hey everyone, I'm not going to update on my zero days in Idyllwild until I get more pictures taken, this town is so cool! But I can't really do that until tomorrow, and I'm leaving tomorrow which isn't conducive to keeping the blog updated. I need to start taking more pictures of the towns along …
Day 7 – I Miss the Dirt
I'm a week into my PCT trek, and only four and a half of those days have been spent hiking. I'm still trying to will this tendinitis away. Ice helped marginally, I just started rolling my foot on a cold water bottle/using my trekking pole as a massage rolling pin.. thing.. what do you even …
Day 6 – Foot Healage
So my foot problem turned out to be probably tendonitis. I've had it before in my heel, but this is along the outside of my foot where I walk on which makes it exponentially more painful. That's a relief. I kept it on ice and elevated it a bit, so far so good. I got …
Day 1 – What Have I Done
I woke up to my alarm screaming at me at 5:30AM: "Get up! Get your gear! Get up!". Okay fine! Despite all the nerves and butterflies, I actually slept pretty well. Saying goodbye to the bed was a difficult moment for me. I took a shower and got all my stuff together. What should have …
PCT Day 0
So a miracle happened and the house got all packed up. It took a hell of a lot longer than I anticipated, but it is what it is right? I don't want to do that ever again. I said goodbye to everything in Washington and was on my way. Considering my plan is to hike …
Shit happens
So, I'm not out in California right now. Family emergencies, a fractured toe, lack of time to get my house finished up.. basically my tendency to be the living embodiment of Murphy's law got in the way. Someone tried to burn down the complex I (used to) work at.. I mean holy hell guys. The …
