Today I walked 15 miles fully geared, and it was.. eh. http://i.imgur.com/juHv3GE.jpg While browsing all the standard trail sites, I found a trail that went on for an advertised 17 miles, and thought "Well hey, it would be interesting to take all my gear on a long(er) hike and see how I like my new …
My running shorts came in today. http://i.imgur.com/iJfsvlx.jpg Now I just need a beard (I just recently trimmed it.. RIP. I work with dogs, some dogs hate beards, which is upsetting considering how many dogs have beards) and to be caked in dirt, and I'll unmistakably be hiker trash. These are definitely my new favorite …
If that! http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/112/418/Image4.png I saw someone's PCT countdown timer today, they have 16 weeks. One week shy of when I make the drive down to Campo for my own PCT trek. I'm trying so hard not to watch the days pass by. I don't mark days down on my calendar and calculate exactly how …
Hey hey hey! Things changed while I've been inactive. First I relearned how great naps can be for you, but that's not why I'm writing this. Second, my attitude about gear has changed dramatically. When I started planning for my PCT trek, my baseweight was at around 23lbs (probably more honestly). I'm proud to announce …
Hey all! It's been a while. As fall loomed over the claustrophobic roof of Washington, I fell into seasonal blues and went dormant for a while. I was living day to day and sleeping a lot to pass the time. The anticipation for my PCT hike was and remains to be a bit overwhelming. Fastforward.. …
So I didn't do Alta last week. Family emergencies and such, they're about the only thing that can keep me at home. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I can get out this weekend either. We'll see.
It's been great going out every weekend the way I have. I lived more outside than I did my own house in a manner of speaking. It was a strange and awesome. Every weekend was a different story with a new backyard. But my house needs a little love too... well, a lot of love. …
This trip is brought to you by cold wet socks. This weekend I went with a group of unknown people out to the great Goat Rocks in Washington. The forecast called for beautiful sunny skies and relatively nice temperatures. But true to its nature, Washington disagreed and decided we didn't need that. As you can …
I'm potentially heading off to the Goat Rocks in this lovely state. This is all dependent on whether or not this whole group activity pans out, so we'll see. I'm breaking a previous rule I made for myself to not spoil any section of the PCT for myself, but I can't pass up the opportunity. …
I deliver on my promises. This weekend I went to go get a view of Mount Baker from Baker Lake. My prior predictions of it being a straightforward or even boring trip were pretty wrong. I had company this time: joined by my dog and the man who taught me all I know about backpacking …
