So it Begins....

It began with an idea to eventually through hike the Pacific Crest Trail after I retired. I understand the challenge ahead of me so I wanted to get my feet wet by completing the John Muir Trail. I believe hiking the John Muir Trail will give me insight into what will take to complete the entire PCT. I get to test my stamina, my will, equipment, and how I fare with hydrating and feeding myself along the way.

This blog is attempt to document what I find out along the way in my preparations for the hike and happens along the way.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." – Lao Tzu.

This is my first step.
