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!

Logging Road - Castle Craggs Campground 8/13/10 16 miles

We thought we were getting up early when we started packing up around 7ish. Two hikers passed by and introduced themselves, Whifflechicken and Swiss Miss. The hike today consisted of a steep morning climb to warm us up, a nice shortcut to a logging road and a lot of downhill before we reached town. We arrived right at lunch time. We grabbed some burritos and drinks at the store and ate them under a tree as we hunk out with Dude, Trouble, El Presidente and Mr. Green. It was nice to relax and socialize without feeling rushed to get back on the trail. Went next door to pick up our box from Mary. Thank you! We loaded up our food and headed back to the "Chevron Tree" to hang out for a bit longer, with full intentions of walking a few more miles this evening. A few drinks later and a lot of laughs later, it was 7pm. Looks like we're going to stay at the campground next door. We stumbled to camp, took an amazing hot shower, and set up. Sleeping good tonight. -KB
