PCT

one more hike this month

March 24, 2010

I have a few ideas of where I can go this weekend. I’d like to go camping, but I was kind of hoping that I wouldn’t have to bring a shelter, just a sleeping bag. Looks like that might not be an option.
Anyway, here are some options that I’m thinking of; any of these could [...]

itchy feet

August 26, 2009

I’m off the trail, my leg is about 85%, and I really want to get back outside. I’ll wait a little longer before I do anything serious, but in the meantime I can plan some trips.
One area that I’ve been looking at for two or three years is Goat Rocks in Washington. The Pacific Crest [...]
