Shall we go again?

Nah, not the full trail…BUT

I am going to meet up with my buddy Stix in July at South Lake Tahoe and hike down to Mammoth Lakes for a PCT section hike of 189 miles.

There are no permit quotas for going southbound on the PCT if you start north of Sonora Pass (and south of Washington), so I don’t feel bad bending the rules a tad on not going more than 500 miles.

Let’s keep that between us though.

Planned start date right now is July 20th, give or take a day, depending on when Stix gets there. He is starting further north at Chester where he flipped up to last year when he skipped the Sierra due to insane snowmelt. He will then continue on all the way to Kennedy Meadows to complete his full PCT hike!

I’m pumped to get to hike with a partner this time. This trip should be right around 2 weeks in length. Hoping for beautiful weather and not too many bugs!

Also going to test out some new gear as I train this spring, so I’ll probably blog that here too.

Excited to knock out some more PCT miles!
