Well, for those of you that don't know, next weekend is the ADZPCTKO. This stands for Annual Day Zero Pacific Crest Trail Kick Off. What does this mean? A big party with vendors and hikers (present, past and future), all celebrating the beginning of this years thru-hikes. There are already a few that have started, but this is for those that want to kick it off together. The journals of hikers spending this year on the trail have already started posting. I'll try to scan for interesting ones to read.
The one I noticed today is the journal of Ladybug. She is hiking for charity. All the details can be found on her webpage. Once there you can read her journals by clicking on "Trail Tales" and an even cooler feature is to click on "Where Is Ladybug?" and see where on the map of the trail she is located. I most enjoy that she had her first rattlesnake encounter while stopping to relieve herself.
If you haven't hit the link for Go-Big's journal from last year, I highly recommend it. Interesting to note on the May 10 log entry he mentions Jon Donovan who died on the trail the year before.
In the blog on Scott's attempt to hike the National Pacific Crest Trail, Scott is represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the people who have hiked this trail before and the people who will support Scott in his new quest. These are their stories. [Dunh-Dunh]
