Pacific Crest Trail 2014

In 2014, I turned 22 and hiked over 1000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. In 2015 I will attempt to hike the entire trail.  I have the excitement of a beginner, the knowledge of a journeyman, and the humbled soul of an ex-thru hiker.  I have one regret: that I did not document my summer like I should have.  This is my second chance

The Thru Hiker

"There he goes.  One of God's own prototypes.  A high powered mutant of some kind never considered for mass production.  Too weird to live, and too rare to die." Hunter S. Thompson

Any others from the PCT Class of 2015?!

What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.
