I believe that life was created to live, not just to get by, or make money, or be complacent or comfortable. We, as human beings were made to push ourselves - so that is exactly what I am doing. Again.
My awesome, attractive, goofy, firefighter/wilderness God of a boyfriend has inspired me to take on the challenge of the Pacific Crest Trail. For those of you who have never heard of the PCT, it is a fantastically challenging trip of a lifetime in which Mark and I will hike over 2,660 miles stretching from the California-Mexico border to Manning Park (across the border into Canada).
The trip is sectioned off into about 5 months worth of hiking, and is the longest established trail in the world. During those months, the climate, terrain, and will power will vary from scorching hot to blisteringly cold, wet, and icy. We try to keep things interesting.
And so, I embark on a crazy journey (again) and leave my job and comfort behind (again) to explore yet another part of the world we live in. I am very excited, and am looking forward to sharing will all of you the ups and downs of my trip! Hopefully, a little bit more thoroughly than last time.
SOME IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION:
Since my boyfriend and I are doing a couples hike, we are creating a couples blog called Hiker Trash at its Finest.
- It can be conveniently found at hikertrashatitsfinest.blogspot.com
- The new blog will be geared towards a more technical description of how hiking the PCT works.
- I still plan on writing here, but most of my posts will be on the hiker trash blog.
- Also, Mark will be a co-author on the new blog, so you'll get a different perspective than you do here! After all, life is nothing but the perspective that you're looking at it with.
And with that, I leave now to begin this crazy adventure. I appreciate your patience with this blog and Hiker Trash, and am looking forward to sharing everything!
