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 !
