Well, decision made. I am flying back to the trail starting tomorrow.
I will fly to Reno and then spend Tuesday putzing around doing a resupply and other mundane tasks that a returning thru hiker has to do. Then I will find my way back to the trail at Donner Pass on Wednesday.
As I have stated in a previous post, flipping ahead like this is not my ideal definition of a thru hiker, but 2017 is not a typical year on the PCT. Sometimes one has to play the hand that is dealt. In a perfect world I will hike to the northern terminus by late September and then turn around and hike the 360 mile gap that I am leaving after that. But that is very long term trek planning which tends to get rejected by the trail.
I will likely be out of Wi-Fi touch for a while but look for updates soon.
