We were seeking some adventure, a change of pace and simplicity. Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail is the plan. We will begin the hike on June 15, 2010. The trail dips, dances, swerves and rides across 2,658 miles of some of the most magnificent, breath-taking mountains in the United States. It begins at the border of Mexico, and goes through the back-country of California, Oregon and Washington, coming to an end in Manning Park, Canada, just a few miles across the border. We will be beginning this journey below Kennedy Meadows, CA, (about 650 miles into the trail) and hoping to complete the remaining 2,000ish miles up to Canada. We anticipate completing the trail in 4 months and end around September 15th. Wish us luck!

Chicken Spring Lake - Crabtree Meadows 6/22/10 15 miles

We woke up early with ice on the tent. It was cold, so I fixed Kristi breakfast in bed. Took us a while to get started. Got some great pics of the alpine lake, and started our walk. We had a pretty nice snow bank we had to climb. Pretty walk all day. Had lunch and our first creek crossing at Rock Creek. I wish I had gotten a picture. After the creek there was a killer climb, 1700 feet, straight up. Walked down into Crabtree Meadows and saw some of the most breath-taking mountains yet. Can't stop thinking about food. Highest point on the PCT tomorrow and then town the next day. CM
