Columnist Nicholas Kristof on his annual father-daughter PCT hike; a nice read.

"Maybe life isn't about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it's about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it."
Kristof is doing the PCT in sections for years and writes an editorial about the trail at least once a year. If you search the NYTimes site you can fine more of his reports from the trail.
Yes, I've been reading his annual trail report for years, too. I especially liked this year's anecdote about coaxing his daughter, when she was four years old, to walk with the promise of a treat if she could do it. Who hasn't resorted to such shameless bribery, and not just on the trail?
