He posted great photos and stories every few days on a website. They made it to Washington, I think, before they had to quit due to smoke and forest fires on the route. Anyway, he loved the experience. Got a job after that as a park ranger.

Hadn't heard of it and had to google it, but it sounds awesome. Are you hiking the entire thing?

Nuke

That is my hope, but success rates run between 20 - 25 percent.

Good luck! Looking forward to following along from CB.

But the fact that I was able to complete the CDT makes me believe my odds are a little better than average.

You need a new name. 20 miles a day is better than mozeying.

At the resupply towns do you have access to showers and laundry?

Yes--in fact I'm at one now (Julian) doing those very things.

Right now I'm just trying to make it to Anza by Easter Sunday so I can attend the Branch there.

Likewise when you get up to the Snoqualmie area.

This is the OR/WA bridge right? kind of scary construction, but beautiful view

Yep. Pretty cool view though.

CDT took me 140 days and it's 450 miles longer.

Mozey

I assume its a thru-hike no breaks? That would put you finishing end of July

I don't know that's the definition of thru hiking.

Really awesome. You're living my dream, but I'm right behind you (I hope).

I think that is a very wise move. Coincidentally, I will be driving not far from Warner Springs next Wednesday. I'm sure
