What would you rather do?

[sbhikes]

I'm trying to decide what is better.

- Tell my boss I need a week off and then hike Section A of the PCT southbound into Kickoff.
- Tell my boss I need every Monday off for 5 weeks and do local weekend hikes that span from Friday afternoon to Monday.

With the first option, I would get to have that PCT experience and I'd be certain to do the entire week.

With the second option I would get to do more trips but there is a chance stuff might come up that makes me essentially waste the weekend not going hiking.

What do you think you would rather do?

Option 1 would be my choice.

Both good section options if your boss is cool with the time off. Logistically speaking, it would make a lot more sense to just take a full week off and only have to worry about two rides, also a lot less driving/gas usage.

Voting for the week off...

I'd do the weekends. Otherwise it's one and done. Who knows what opportunities might come up.

Take a week then do some additonal Friday-Sunday hikes, best of both worlds.

I'd rather ask my PCT questions in the PCT forum and hope others would do the same.

[sbhikes]

My question has nothing to do with the PCT. Substitute AT or JMT if you like. I am just having trouble deciding if a long trip is mroe desirable than several short trips and curious of anybody would say something I hadn't thought of myself to help me choose.

[Blissful]

I'd rather have weekends off. Get to see and do different hikes then.

Option 2 gives you a lot of 4 day work weeks. I have a schedule that gives me every other Friday off and those 4 day weeks are great.
