Let the PCT Walkin' Begin...



Well here it is again.  That wonderful calm before the storm.  My time of patience has ended, and now I must embark.  It is 10:30, and I am ready to get some sleep before my 6 am flight tomorrow.

Today was frantic, but I finished all that I needed to.  I wish that I had some profundity to put forth at this moment to mark such an occasion...but it is simpler than that.  Tomorrow I head out on a little walk.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone that donated to my father's memorial fund.  This is the first time where I've gone on one of my adventures with the intent of also raising money and awareness for a good cause.   So thank you.  It really does mean a lot to me.  If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's the link explaining:

Hey Lakewood. I hope you get to check your comments while on the trail. I want to let you know that I would like to donate $0.10 for every mile you hike on the PCT. So that way you have some extra motivation to finish all 2650 miles, which would be $265 bucks for the heart walk! Sorry, I meant to let you know sooner.

God bless and stay safe! Happy Hiking.
