    Andrew,

    Just wish time contraints could allow me to go with you, I am soooo jealous.

    Good Luck and enjoy yourself, as I know you will.

    Talking Mt Whitney

    I hope you get the chance to run up and claim the summit of Mt Whitney. I think the PCT passes very near, and it is quite the experience.

    Good Luck, God Speed, and watch those bears... ;)

    South to North is definitely the way to go. The snow shouldn't be too bad until you get into...if I rembmer rightly, the Dome Lands wilderness. It's been a heavy snow year, but you should be OK. You'll love the section from Bioshop, north, thought eh desert passes will be stunning with flowers at this time of year.

    I'm jealous. have a GREAT trip.

    Good luck, be safe, have fun

    I sure envy you the opportunity to do the entire PCT on a through-hike. I've done parts of the Tahoe-Yosemite Trail, and hiked the John Muir Trail twice(once a couple years ago and once thirty years earlier.)

    I'll check in on your progress periodically and determine the feasibility of meeting up with you, however briefly, somewhere between Yosemite and Lake Tahoe. Of course, that's only if it can be before June 10th or after June 25th, because those two weeks I'll be cycling solo from Lexington, KY to Baltimore, MD via Virginia.

    Andrew, I'll be watching your web site for updates. I'm astounded by people like you who are driven to do this kind of hiking. Mountain climbing never did make much sense to me but an epic hike like this really has appeal even though I don't imagine I'll ever do it myself. It's even more interesting since you're almost walking through my back yard. Emil Kreofsky, the guy who founded the motorcycle shop I work at, once rode a Harley down the Pacific Crest Trail. I think it was during construction or shortly thereafter. We have clippings out of the Oregonian tracking his exploits. Good luck, I'll be rooting for you.

    Thumbs up

    Good luck man, it's amazing to me how some people manages to make their dreams true!,... congrats for such a determination!

    As somebody said before, it's impossible at the moment for me as well to find soo much time to make a long hike, but maybe in a future I'll find the time to cover walking the millennary Santiago's way from the french border to Galicia. It's more or less a month's walk, although the different roads cross all over europe. For everybody who could be interested, here's a link:

    if everybody thinks about it for next year's summer,... I'll be pleased to know! ;)

    ¡Salud!

    I hope all is going well on your journey up the PCT. I helped build a secion of that trail in northern Washington state about 28 years ago. I'll be thinking of you when your near the north Cascades!
