My return to the PCT will likely be early June 2024. It’s an above average snow year so I’m going to late start as possible. Edit. Will start from Kennedy meadows south (mile 703) June 16th after rose gets tommy and John settled in San Diego

In the off season, (completed the 700 miles of the south PCT)’, Just Mike, Caleb, Louann and myself got to start the Arizona train. It was great. Me and Louann got about 112 miles and the rest of the team went further. The weather snow and mud stopped me

Chief and Jed Smith are beasts!

A couple of fun trips are coming up until I get to restart.

I have until about 8/1 to hike. Since this is an above average snow year , that creates issues.

I’m going for 6/10

Update as of 6/4. Snow is still an issue, as is the water crossings.

I’m going to start next week down south and get 50 miles in. That will set me up nicely for Mt Whitney next year. I will then jump to Quincy and go from Bucks summit to old station. 120 miles or so

Then hopefully the snow will be down enough for peaks pass after Crags to Saied valley thru Etna (which has huge snow issues right now)

I’ll keep you updated, my 3 followers. lol.
