Marcus L. Godby - Pacific Crest Trail Journal - 2008

My name is Marcus L. Godby and, just so you know, I've never acquired a trail name but you can call me Magi. As an enthusiastic hiker, for years, while I was self-employed, the idea of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) was my "Happy Place". In fact, my employees back in those days were fond of saying that if I hiked on Sunday that I was good until at least Wednesday! It's been several years since I gave up my business but the idea of hiking the PCT never quite left me. So much so, that for the last few years, I've been driving my family and friends crazy by talking about it. The years blew by and I got involved in this or that and kept thinking "next year". Finally, I recently decided that "next year" was here. I decided that I was going with a tentative departure date of April 15, 2008. I've started making preparations and have told my family and friends of my plans. I don't think they believe me.

243 Days Till Departure!
