So here we are in mid- June, 2016 and my hike does not start until May, 2017. What news can I possibly have to share? Well, not much.
I have decided on a start date, albeit tentatively. May 2/17 seems to be a good fit for getting kids shuffled around after their university years are completed etc. I know that this will be later than most of the hikers, but it does give me some latitude to avoid the worst of the snow in the Sierras should next winter prove to be a big (or at least bigger) snow year.
This whole blogging thing on a platform like Blogger is new to me. I am learning as fast as I can. Up to now, I have used Trailjornals to journal hikes. This is a bit more complex, but allows for a more detailed account. More pictures per post, the possibility of including videos and just being able to customize the look of the blog/journal is appealing to me.
Talking of previous journals, here are two journals from previous hikes:
The Wonderland Trail 2013 here
Tour du Mont Blanc 2015 here
Got to say that I am really enjoying several of the journals from this year’s hikers on the PCT. There are some really good writers and photographers out there this year.
Well, back to the couch for some more training.
