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!

Camper Flats - Alpine Meadows 7/24/10 23 miles

Today's walking was pretty hilly, but we had beautiful views of Lake Tahoe all day. We got some really good pics, which of course won't do it any justice. WE took a break in the a.m. on some rocks to escape the vampires. Kiwi stopped in and chatted for a while and bacon and Meander stopped in as we were leaving. We covered ourselves in bugspray and headed out again. I found that listening to music helps preserve sanity while the mosquitoes are vicious. WE came upon a nice lake and had another break. Kiwi, Meander and Bacon again stopped by for a chat. Lots of sunshine and sweating today. I was happy to dip in some stream water during our relaxing lunch and got nice and cooled off. We enjoyed some spectacular of Tahoe from above. We were both happy to relax in the tent, after a hot, but awesome and gorgeous day. -KB
