Hiphilary - Pacific Crest Trail Journal - 2015

Full Disclosure

Full Disclosure: I did see Wild. And I also read the book. And it did inspire me to hike the Pacific Crest Trail.

Am I dillusional?

Well, I hope not. I start law school in September. That's 6 months away. For a while I've been considering the various ways I could choose to spend my time. Everyone said I should travel. I knew I wanted to truly live in one place. I considered Australia, South America, and San Francisco, before my friend jokingly suggested I do what Reese (or Cheryl, whoever you reference) did and hike the PCT. And it was like a cartoon lightbulb popped up above my head. It ticked all my boxes.

If I hike the PCT, I will get fit, I will have time to write, I will meet new people, I will gain perspective, and I won't break the bank.

So here I am. Planning this long-distance hiking trip. Ripping off someone else's iconic journey to self-discovery, hoping that it might bring me the same sense of self-awareness, confidence, and peace that it brought Cheryl Strayed.

Let's see how this goes.
