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 thinking about this trip. In May of 2021 we plan to start at the Mexican boarder near Campo, California and begin the 4 month trip north towards Canada.  Will is an AT Alum and I've traveled to all 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 me down, a lack of water in the Mojave might make me reconsider but I'm gonna go for it.

Updates from the trail are tough but I'll try to keep you all in the loop.  Checkout the map below for our end of day location and the "Our Plan" link for how we're doing.  I'll also post blogs for each section here.
