Hike -> buffet -> more hiking

If someone has put that on paper I would’ve been, wait a minute, that sounds like a horrible idea. But that’s exactly what I did.

Let’s go back to the start of this day where I hiked 25 miles in 30+ C weather and what might be my first moment of desperation.

this week’s story is about my time relaxing in the small town of Idyllwild. we had a family style taco dinner, ate a bunch of food and climbed the highest mountain in Southern California!

The PCT is definitely not what I expected.

That was a bit of a “click bait”. The PCT was not what I expected because it was more than anything I would’ve imagined.

Hiking on the PCT, I have woken up to an new adventure everyday, not knowing what waits ahead of me or where I will sleep that night. I have learned to cast doubts and worries away. Experienced the magnificent wonder of nature at every corner and the comradery from strangers on a daily basis.

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail has not been a vacation or a trip, it has became my lifestyle… And I love every second of it.

This story is about my experience of going from office worker to homeless (technically) hiker. It seems so insignificant in the grand scheme of things but no one told me how stressful it was and how much of it becomes your PCT experience. I wanted to write about this to document this period of time before my life goes a whole different direction. This is when reality hits and the adventure starts for me.
