I'm one of the silent ones who reads and enjoys every step of your journey. I had no idea about the line cut through the trees.. that's pretty cool. Who knew? I crossed the trail (in my car) in the pouring rain and knew you were somewhere nearby at the time. Couldn't wait to read all about the rain! I had a moment of silence for all you hikers out there slogging through it.<br />How many pairs of shoes did you go through this time?<br /><br />EsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838884300056139535.post-62610779050070037832011-02-22T16:23:37.211-08:002011-02-22T16:23:37.211-08:00So, I wonder what Canada calls the border if the U...So, I wonder what Canada calls the border if the US calls it the US border?<br /><br />Well technically, your log in was incorrect. The border isn't the end of the PCT, right? You still had 8 more miles to hike, correct? So, you can't actually quit there....unless a helicopter swoops down to pick you up and take you away.<br /><br />Congrats on reaching the border with another country....your second foreign country in 5 months.<br /><br />I imagine that the last 8 miles of the trail were rather anti-climatic, eh?<br /><br />That photo of you perched on the PCT monument cracks me up. You look like Gene Kelly with the umbrella dancing in the rain!
