Welcome to my Trail Journal!
I've grouped all my Desert Section posts into a separate page. Hit the link below to start reading my journal in order from Day 1.
Below that are links to posts of the section I'm currently writing about.
I have a pretty big delay between doing something and actually posting the blog. I'm trying hard to catch up!
I am *actually* in the last section of the PCT, trying really hard to get to the Canadian terminus in time for me to start school on time.
Wish me luck!!
