It started with a dream and became a reality...

Leapfrog (Will Babb) and I had the idea to hike the PCT years back.  We worked together at Roads Rivers and Trails and talked about our dream constantly.  After graduating college in 2019 I spent the next two years saving and planning for this trip. In May of 2021 we plan to start at the Mexican boarder near Campo, California and begin the 4-5 month trip north towards Canada.  Will is an AT Alum and I've traveled to 49/50 states, so this should be a good time.

Ambitious

2,653 miles in 128 days, averaging 20 miles a day.  Snow in the Sierra might slow us down, a lack of water in the Mojave might make us reconsider but we're gonna go for it.
