I found this little guy as I was riding towards Highway 74 on Wednesday. He's so adorable! #2014PCT

Paradise Cafe is a famous destination on where the PCT crosses Highway 74 outside of Idyllwild . . . and this sign is meant to give tired hikers hope. This where I began my day on Wednesday on Shyla, with Highway 54 and the cafe as ending point. Along the way, I crossed paths again […]

It was a long day, but we made it to Idyllwild and settled into McCall Memorial Park (which we had entirely to ourselves) just in time to see this gorgeous sunset. #2014PCT

Today found me passing a milestone when I reached 100 PCT miles on the way from Scissors Crossing to Barrel Springs. It was one of the hardest stretches of trail that we've had so far, as we wound along the spine of a ridge through rocky, barren terrain. Mile 100 came just before we arrived […]

The green and shady oasis of Barrel Springs felt like heaven after the long, hot, and barren ride across the spine of the hills up from Scissors Crossing. There was a pool with water tricking into it--where Shyla was very happy to get a drink at last! #2014PCT

I started the day at Pioneer Mail picnic area near Laguna Mountain, where I had ended the day before when Mom picked up Takoda and me with the trailer. This morning I started out on Shyla, then switched to Takoda at mile 59 at the Sunrise Trail Head. It turns out that the trail head […]
