I get it, not making the Canadian terminus. Its your journey, people prolly dont get it, you were so close but as long as you feel accomplished, thats all that matters😎Anyway im Dos Equis a 2020 thru hiker. Yeah while everyone was locked down during covid, I was out hiking the PCT, no one understood it but again they didnt have to, it was my journey. The PCTA would not recognize 2020 hikers. Again it wasn't about hiking to be recognized you do these kinda things for yourself Hike Your Own Hike 😎 Yeah

I appreciate your comment Dos Equis. Happy trails brotha!

Very inspirational! When I was younger, I didn't know about the PCT. I always wanted to hike the AT, after reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Now, I'm 65 and I still want to hike the AT...and the PCT. I'm in good shape! I don't know if I'll do a thru hike, as I"m still working...retirement comes in about 3 years. My intention is to stay fit and active and who knows? The will is strong! Section hiking, perhaps? Maybe I'll get out there and say, let's just go as far as I can and call it good. Thanks for the fantastic journey and for raising $.
