hiked the at SOBO in 2009, been working since, and had the PCT in mind. Was supposed to move to bozeman and live/work there, but got dumped last minute. PLAN B! HIKE THE PCT!
So now I get to wander a bit, live on some couches and prey on hot guys in ski town. And start planning.
Just starting to do my research, already own enough gear (thank you pro-deals!), and don't have any commitments in the way. Was wondering though what would be the best trail guide book to use. I discovered that with the AT I went for the most popular...but wasn't happy with my choice. While the mileage was accurate, it left out all the little hidden wonders of the trail.
Likely going to aim to take off around the ADZPCTKO weekend, and wondering if anyone else is planning for this weekend? Love talking about gear and crap, so if anyone is in a place similar to me and working on the planning, I'd love to have someone to bounce ideas around with. Additionally, I hated the idea of mail drops on the AT and only used them when I needed something replaced. So opinions on this for the PCT are welcome!
Like always aiming to do things cheaply, but really I just need to commit to this and start getting excited...
