It's been ten years since our PCT thru hike attempt. Since then we've tried to knock out more miles but life kept interfering. This fall we are trying yet again. We plan on on starting in Yosemite and walking to Mt. Lasson. We're older and out of shape so we are setting a goal of 15 miles a day. I'm optimistic that we'll be better but I'm also realistic enough to not push too hard. We know what to expect now and I think that's half the battle. We know it's going to be hard and we're going to be tired, sore and hungry. We also know we enjoy it and look forward to the experience one can experience in this way.
So, all that being said, I'm restarting the blog. I'm not sure how blogging will go but that is my plan.
Yesterday we bought the last of our food resupply and today we packed it all in the drop boxes. We're going pretty light. I'm worried that it won't be enough for Jeff--aka The Bald Guy (TBG). We estimate we packed about 2000 calories a day. We're planning Three 6/7day stretches and two 3/4 days for a total of 26 days of hiking. We can do this...
Got our haircuts done and trying to wrap up closing up the RV for the winter and preparing to head back to Arkansas for the winter.
The only photos I have so far are of our wimpy food...
Seven days of food for two...it all needs to fit in the bear canister which makes it even more challenging to bring enough food.
One day's supply for two. This is actually pretty close to what we've done in the past.....
The bear can. Try as we could, we could only get 6 days of food in. We'll carry day seven's food in our bear bag. This handy unit has traveled a lot of miles with us. A good investment for sure.
TBG will carry this while I take the tent, etc.
Wish us luck!
Yep, you guessed it....
We still love hiking!
