So far so good. We have had some hot days and some great sunset.

We had a few nights where the wind was blowing at 30+ and some long, long water carries. How much does 4.5L weigh?

Let the hike continue.

The weather is still warm and dry.

I stink.

Everyone stinks.

We will get some more food at the PO in the morning (if it doesn’t burn down). The other resupply spot burnt down last night.

Hike, hike, eat, sleep, hike, hike, eat, sleep, road walk, hitch a ride, hike, repeat…….

You can pay for first class. But you still can’t sit in front.

A cool place to rest my head.

Get up, get on the road, and Let the fun being!!!

I’m out the door and on the road.

I found a place to rest my head.

I’m 2 days away from NOBO day 1!

I have 11 boxes that will be sent to me on the trail. The first 2 are in the mail.

How things change. I skied on Monday 3/29 Stevens Pass had 18” of new powder. Today 4/2 at Stevens I skied on ice in the morning and slush in the afternoon.

I had a great time with my skiing buddies today. We went nonstop for 4 hours. We also did 2 short hikes and found some great turns.

I’m not as fast as the kids. I’m old and slow. But I have fun.

365 days ago I was saying the same thing. But 375 days ago I “quit” my job. After 36 years in Seattle & 2 years in Federal Way it was time to walk the earth like Kane.

All I need to do is get an address for 2 more boxes, Tape the boxes shut, shut my pie hole ( 2nd stop is Julian for pie) and get to walking.

I also have a California Fire Permit.

New shoes, new socks and a hat. I’m ready.

37 years ago I started working for the SFD. After 36 years on E2 I called it quits. This is some of the things I’ve done in the last 365 days.
