Apr 2021 *
Back in 2018, I headed out to Cali to attempt to hike the 2650 mile long PCT. I got to about mile 580 before I had to come back for family reasons.
Had a blast, met people from all over the world, got up close and personal with a rattlesnake. Plus, unfortunately, was present when another hiker died.
Most people end up with trail names, and I did as well. And I earned the name Faceplant the hard way. Including biting a hole through my mouth below the lower lip.
I had every intention of going out last year, but something happened in 2020 that prevented me from going. Forget what it was.
So anyway, next week at this time I will be two days and around thirty miles in. It will be interesting on day three when I get back to mile 33 where Happy Days died.
