Doing the WILD THING? 

That seems to be the most asked question in my PCT adventures.  

To catch you all up.  I am taking off on April 9, 2017 to section hike the Pacific Crest Trail, more commonly referred to as PCT.  The trail is about 2650 miles long and ventures from the Mexican border to the Canadian border through California, Oregon, and Washington.  I have had a desire to do this since I was a youth backpacking with Campus Life of Nevada County and the First Baptist Church youth group.  We backpacked each summer along with my family loving to camp, ya know tent, hard ground, cook around the campfire.... CAMP...  and so I caught the "camping bug".  I have had it ever since.  

In December, 2016 I started planning to section hike the PCT.  I was going to start in March, 2017, however, the weather dictated differently.   

I have all of my gear, a little heavier that I would like. 

I waited too long to book my flight to San Diego and the cost ended up being more than I wanted to pay. 

I have researched San Diego transit system from airport to the trail head in Campo, CA.  

I needed a trail name and my cousin/sister gave me the name Poppy!  I love it! 

I will hike for 5 days and see what adventures I can experience.  

I will blog my journals when I return.  Praying for safety... as they say 80% of the journey is mental!

Though don't tell my husband who has supported this costly venture.  Over $2000.00 and counting.
