I wouldn't trade all the riches in the world for the wealth that I have now. I Love the simple pleasures in life like a full tank of gas, dancing alone in my living room, and whiskey in my tea.
How many miles is it? the Pacific Crest Trail is 2663.5 miles long
How Long will it take you? About 5 to 5 1/2 months
How far do you hike in a day? About 20-25 miles a day
Where do you begin and finish? We start in Campo on the Mexican border and end 7 miles into Canada at Manning Park. We hike through California, Oregon, and Washington
How will you get food? About once a week we will be near a town that we can go into and resupply. Some places won't have a decent store so we will have boxes of food mailed to us
Will you see other people? Yes, there are about 200-300 people that hike the PCT every year. So we will be seeing and meeting other folks along the way.
Are you Crazy? No
Why are you doing this? Why not....think about it
