On our projected start date I headed down alone to the Southern Terminus of the Pacific Crest Trail to see whom we may have been hiking with and to pick up the PCT moniker. Our start of the PCT was interrupted when my hiking partner was in a bicycle accident which resulted in 9 broken ribs and two punctured lungs. We hope to do some portion of the PCT this year and if possible delay the start until next hiking season.
My PCT, Pacific Crest Trail hike has been placed on hold. My hiking partner was on a training bike ride on Baseline Drive and was involved in a three bicycle accident that placed him in the hospital for a week. He broke at least four of his ribs and punctured both of his lungs. The accident took place just two weeks before we were scheduled to begin our journey on March 3, 2024. We have not ruled out a later start and or doing a portion of the hike, and or postponing the hike until next hiking season in 2025.
On our start date +1, March 4, I drove down to the town of Campo, CA. which is about 1 1/2 hours east of Encinitas on the Mexican border, this is the Southern Terminus of the PCT. I went to meet who might have been hiking with and to pick up the placards that are given to permitted hikers.
Here's to dreaming !
As most of you know I have retired (Mr. R Connor). I have decided to keep the site going for as long as I can. With that said if you happen on to the page please become a follower or leave a comment. If you are a past student post the year that you graduated and or had me as a teacher. Look forward to hearing from you all!
