Pacific Crest Trail
Why
Why are we doing this?
Todd
I want to:
* re-connect with nature
* do this in a way that doesn't leave a huge carbon footprint
* figure out what I want to do with the next chapter in life
Ever since I first smelled the Cascades, I've wanted to spend time there.
When I was in my teens, I heard about the PCT... I've wanted to hike
this for most of my life.

Contact
We’ll both have our cell phones and will probably check them weekly or so. We’ll also have a Garmin In-Reach Mini so family and close friends can contact us in an emergency.
Plan
Hike from South to North (remember, never trust a southbounder). We’ll start at the US/Mexico border and see what happens.
Photos
We’ll post photos to this google photo album.

Dehydrated Food
Here are some dehydrated food products that we’ve researched. I think we’ll be be eating a fair bit of dried bean flakes. I’ve tried a bunch of the various things we ordered from 3 of these companies. Overall, this stuff is all OK but not something I would choose over fresh food.
Protein
Some longtime friends have created these delicious snack sticks. I think these will be a staple on this trip.
See you later!
