New map link

Here's a great Google Map of the PCT. You can look at it through the satellite or standard view as well as zoom in on it, etc. I will also put this on the side bar.

Okay desert, here I come.

So, the Cleveland, Angeles, and San Bernadino National Forests are all closed to ALL recreation due to fire hazards. Let me just make a quick note to eliminate ALL the forests near me for hikes in the near future.

I want to go on a overnighter in the next couple of weeks to see how warm my sleeping bag is and how warm my thermo vest+wind shell combo is. I will definitely take some emergency clothes and some hot tea with me because the desert is known to get a little cold at night.

Alright, who's going with me?

So, um yeah

I know I haven't posted. The task of planning out such an epic journey is daunting. Also, I need to post corrections already. It seems I haven't hiked for quite some time. I've also put on weight. Well, that ends now. I'm elated by the recent weather. I know most of you think I'm crazy but, highs in the 40's and lows in the 10's are motivating to me. I will plan my next hike in the next day or so and will get back to epic trail planning as well. More notes soon.
