Just a short time ago we checked in at 1400 miles--we've now reached the 1600 miles marker in northern California and have about 150 left before we finally arrive in Ashland, Oregon. Since we were not able to post pictures last time from the pizza place in Burney, the we wanted to catch you up with one of the big milestones of the last couple weeks--reaching the PCT midpoint of the trail--1325 miles. We were expecting a signpost and maybe a bench to celebrate the occasion, but alas all that was there to greet us was a cement marker and a geocache box. Ah well! That is what you get when you are hiking a trail through the wilderness (smile!).
Ashland here we come!!!
Ashland?! Perhaps you will get a chance to see some Shakespeare? I think they have the big festival there this time of year... I know you are not doing this whole hiking thing so you can go into town for such events, but since you mentioned the town... I thought you might want to spend a night with the Bard and get a hot shower too. Sounds like you are continuing to love the trail and that your progress has been swift and sweet lately. Of course I want to see more nature pics!
ReplyDeleteHey Guys... Just a quick note to say hello! We are thinking of you on your epic journey. How are your bodies holding up? I can only imagine how strong you both must be by now. 35 miles in a day with packs is pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteTake care and keep those spirits high!
