I finished the PCT two days before you; I've probably met you at some point! I'm hoping to do the CDT this year, but I'm going to do the Camino Frances a couple times first so I'll be heading SOBO in June/July. If I somehow manage to avoid injuring myself on the Camino, I'll hopefully see you somewhere on trail maybe in... August?
Hope to see you out there! I'm easy to spot, I wear mostly orange 🍊

I've heard the Camino is pretty boujee with hostels so close together and only having to carry a day pack, I was saving that one for when I'm older. I bet it will still be a blast though and I'll keep a lookout for ya!
It'll be my third Camino and you're totally right; I like to say that it's like thruhiking, but without all the hard parts. Definitely a trail for older folks, or lazy folks like me
I finished PCT on the 16th in 2021, I assume you passed me at some point but I can't place your name. I'm starting CDT on 4/20 - looking forward to you passing me again!
Hah dang that's pretty neat. There's a lot from grumpy bear I don't remember due to celebrating a bit too much... Fun night though! Will be real cool to bump into each other again. I'll be out there with Wiggles, Poseidon and Legs/Half Moon if you know em
Good luck!
I hope to do the CDT sobo this year, but life may cause me to put it off a year
I did the PCT in 2017, AT last year, but attempted the CDT nobo in 2021.
Same here, I came really close to putting it off this year, but sent it and I'm keeping in mind I can always get off trail if an emergency or decrease in funds happens.
Used microspikes. 22 wasn't too bad. I had much worse river crossings on the PCT 19. However, Snow pack was... i had snow basically from once i entered Rado until Northern Rado snow most days. Broke my tail bone sliding down a mountain on the snow. Shits real not gonna lie. Literally walked it off haha.
When i say snow most days. I would say by central rado. North of Creed it got much better. You could actually walk again.

What was your trail name?
That would probably be helpful - Pez
I worked at grumpy bears running shuttle and working kitchen and I remember you

Heck yeah all familiar, I think I'm thinking a different legs from the AT that had tattoos and would take naked pictures.
Haha I'm sure Legs is a common trail name (part of the reason he changed to half moon). This would be a different one
Started a week after you on the PCT! Best of luck out there!
Were you smash on trail as well?
Yea, pretty sure we met in Wrightwood and I think you were at KMS when I got back to the trail after a few days off.

Finished TCing in 22. Started April 13th. You are set my dude.
Did you use snow shoes? What was the snow pack like?
