Romanticizing the Trail

I was unsure of how this blog thing worked until the end of Day 3... we do not talk much out here.

I love hiking... before I hike and after I hike. But I downright loathe it 80% of the time I am doing it. It has been a balance of pain and pleasure, mostly pain. These have been 3 of the most painful days in a long time, but at the end of the day it has all been worth it... so far.

No trail name... yet.

I lost my primary hiking socks yesterday, left them baking on a rock near a creek, idiot!

Total rattlesnakes seen: 2
Total fire ant hills I have stomped: 18
Best gear so far: Ibuprofen
Most useless gear: Pancho
Best Food: Pizza Burritos (tortilla, pepperoni, cheese stick, with tabasco sauce)

More to come.

  2. I think if I was hiking the PCT and had internet access to fill my time I would be biding on ebay. Oh hell yes in the middle of nowhere.
