For those of you who don't know, the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is a hiking trail which runs from the Mexican border to the Canadian border. It's approximately 2,663 miles long. In 2013, about 750 people attempted the entire thru-hike.
I've known about this hike for a few years now. I've been telling myself "I'm gonna do it!" for the last year or so. I hadn't really thought about it since January of this year. While I was bored at work one night recently, I stumbled upon a lovely blog of an Australian who's hiking name is Muk Muk. Check out her amazing adventures on the PCT! And after you're finished there, head over to her new blog, Serial Nomad. She's currently on the Camino de Santiago in Spain! She'll spend 30-ish days traveling that and then go back to the real world. She's a huge role-model for me right now. She's lived a dream few can comprehend and she's not letting it slow her down now that she's lived it.
What great motivation! I even got my uncle excited about it. He says he'll go with me.
We'll see.

MukMuk has gotten me excited again about planning the trail. Her notes are super amazing and her advice is super amazing and she's just super amazing. Seriously, go read her.
If nothing else, check out her videos about her encounter with a mountain lion...
Cheers!
