Newspaper Blurb and Some PCT Updates

The Beard Transition

Before and After

So it looks like the local paper here ran a followup story to the one they ran in March about my quest to hike the PCT.  You can check it out here:

Centre Daily Times Article (August)

Here was the article from March:

Centre Daily Times March Article (March)

I finally had some time to process my hike a little and have quite a few thoughts I'd like to get down on here.  I wanted to do a final gear review, as well as an overall trail synopsis and review, and some "what would I do differently" thoughts.  Lastly, I wanted to try and verbalize just what I was able to get out of this mental and physical journey.  I have finished uploading all of my photos to flickr and you can look through them...in all of their unedited glory here:

I have also uploaded all of my unedited videos to Youtube, and started a playlist.  I'm still adding videos and putting embedded links in them...but you can get to them all through my youtube channel:

In the weeks to come I will try to find time to put together a summary slide show of everything (like I usually do), but I just don't have a lot of time to dedicate to this.  Also, like I said, I will be putting up whatever thoughts I've been able to put together regarding my hike....now that it's over.
