It sure seemed like a lot more than that.<br /><br />But you know you forgot to list the number of rivers crossed and the number of trekking poles broken. And the number of trail magic opportunities. Or how many sodas drank and the number of buckles broken. <br /><br />I'm betting that if you went back to Skehekin and ate thru-hiker burgers and cinnamon rolls for about 2 weeks, you'd be able to gain all of those 29 lbs back, and then some. :-D<br /><br />Hike On!<br />~Twinville Trekkers<br /><br />ps I do have one very important question that has been weighing on my mind for a very long time, ever since I began reading about your PCT hike, and that is:<br /><br />Do you ever wash your sleeping bag while on the trail?<br /><br />And if not, doesn't sinking into the stench and filth of it night after night for 5+ months, get to you? Especially after you come back to the trail from a zero day and you're all washed and cleaned up?Laughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838884300056139535.post-64771749301719920912011-02-20T22:09:33.933-08:002011-02-20T22:09:33.933-08:00We've followed you the whole way too, Ryan in ...We've followed you the whole way too, Ryan in 'real time' and on the blog.

I can't shake loose enough time for the entire trail, but this summer I plan to section hike about 100 miles between Marble Crag and Etna summit with my daughter. Whats next? There's always the CDT in my neck of the woods.
