Received a permit for March 17! I will be traveling to San Diego on the 15th, spend the night and the next morning join other PCT hikers (thru hikers) on a shuttle ride to the town of Campo. There I will spend my first of many nights in my tent at the facility called CLEEF, Camp Lockett event and equestrian facility. CLEEF is a popular staging location for those getting ready to start the hike.
The Pacific crest Trail is part of the national scenic trail system. It is a continuous foot path from the Mexican border in Southern California’s San Diego County through both southern and northern California, Oregon, and Washington state. The trail terminates at the northern terminus just outside of Manning park Canada again on the border.
I will be attempting to hike 2650 miles through deserts valleys rivers and mountains. I anticipate a time of approximately 4 1/2 months and a daily mileage starting at 10 to 15 hopefully averaging 20 to 25 by the end of the trip.
While as of this writing it is only January 14 I am full of anticipation and wish it was already time to head to the airport!
Thanks for taking the time to read I hope to be able to document each days sights and adventures stay tuned….
