Trail update

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

I’ve bought my plane ticket to San Diego. I leave in two months. I think I will skip doing the Grand Enchantment Trail(GET) this spring as I haven’t done all my chores. Also, the logistics of doing back to back trails makes me sleepy. I can always do the GET in the fall after hiking the PCT(Pacific Crest Trail), if I have a bunch of energy left.

The logistics of doing a long trail are much easier than doing a bunch of small trips. It’s also cheaper. Like for the PCT, all you need is a ticket to San Diego ($116), a thru hikers permit($5), a bus to Campo($15), guidebooks, data book, and town guide($92) and you are all set for 3-5 months of non-stop hiking. You can take side trips, go where ever you want…just moving through the world–free. Walking and sleeping high up on the crest with a sunset and sunrise everyday. No, securing the proper permits to move or camp. You are home.
