Back from ADZPCTKO - Now Focus on CDT


I had a great experience at ADZPCTKO this past weekend. I reconnected with friends, talked trail, and basically got to hang with my tribe for several days. Wow! What a lot of fun.

I also got to see a lot of hikers who are attempting the CDT northbound and southbound. Among those who were at the Kick Off were So Far, Luna, Suge, and Gazelle (who, by the way, has just committed to doing the CDT!). We had five of the nine hikers that I know of who will be starting out at the Canadian border on June 15th, and I am looking forward to hiking with all of them. Yeah!

I am heading back home to San Francisco, where I will begin loading up boxes to move my stuff out of my apartment by the 30th of this month. It is an amazing thing to think that I will once again live a thru-hiker lifestyle until next November. As a lot of hikers were making their way out of Lake Morena this morning, I couldn't help but think, "That will be me in a few weeks." What a great feeling!

Now I can better focus on the CDT. My awesome and honorable role as Presentation Coordinator for ADZPCTKO kept me from devoting more time and energy on the CDT. With events ending today, my sights are set on Glacier National Park, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the Wind River Range, the San Juans of Colorado, the Gila National Monument, and all other beautiful and unique places along the CDT. I am almost there!

Trail Journals Updated, Blog To Get Updates Next Month

I just updated my Trail Journal, but I will hold off on blog design updates until I leave San Francisco. I only have a short time left here, so I need to get as much done with food dehydration as I can, and I only have two weeks left to use a dehydrator. THIS IS CRUNCH TIME! I look forward to dressing up the blog with a few relevant widgets so that everyone can follow this hike in a unique way. More to come. Stay tuned!
