Food Resupply Strategy for Our PCT Thru-Hike

There are many, many ways to create a solid resupply strategy, but Sean and I have decided… Continue Reading “Food Resupply Strategy for Our PCT Thru-Hike”
Why I’m Thru-Hiking The Pacific Crest Trail
Just over a year ago, I sat down with all of my nerves, anxiety, and excitement and scribbled out my reasons for setting out on my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. I had very little idea what I was getting into, and even coming… Continue Reading “Why I’m Thru-Hiking The Pacific Crest Trail”

13 States Down, 1 To Go!!!
We managed to pull ourselves away from White Mtn Hostel after our 3 night stay by 11 a.m. During yesterday’s zero, I was really struggling to get the motivation to finish these last three weeks of hiking. Fortunately, all of those feelings of self… Continue Reading “13 States Down, 1 To Go!!!”
Through The Whites
We were finally back to the AT around 11 a.m. from our little “Detour.” We pushed over the other side of Guyot and continued on our way. By about 1 p.m., we made it to Zealand Falls Hut and began to make our lunch.… Continue Reading “Through The Whites”
Detour: Part II
The day had finally come to enter White Mountain National Forest. We awoke just as the first bits of light were coming into the sky. We wanted the earliest start possible for the challenging day ahead. From the shelter it was 5 miles and… Continue Reading “Detour: Part II”
