Preparations
Thursday afternoon, April 5. I will fly to San Diego later today with Amey from Portland. Tomorrow we will celebrate our anniversary. On Saturday, Amey will drive me to the trail head just south of Campos to begin my hike. I hope to hike for about four weeks and hope to cover about 500 miles. We will see what actually happens. I have mailed three resupply boxes already, and my daughter, Claire has four more, to mail at specified intervals as I begin my hike. It has been five years since my last hike on the PCT, which was all of Washington. I can't help but wonder how five additional years will have affected my endurance and durability. I will be hiking alone, but will carry a Spot tracker and, of course, will see a number of people on the trail. If this hike goes well, I hope to complete the rest of California over the next couple of years. First, I have to complete this segment.
