It started with a dream and became a reality...
I dreamt about hiking the PCT for close to 6 years during and after college, it definitely kept me from dropping out but also tempted me often. On May 11th I started north from the US-Mexico border at Campo, CA and began walking 124 days to the Canadian border. This is my story.
