2017

I have become obsessed with the idea of thru hiking the PCT in 2017. Why then? It's far enough out I can reasonably think about making it happen. (Particularly saving up the money I'd need to replace the lost income.) And that would make it 10 years since doing the Mackenzie. And I'd turn 40 while on the trail. Seems auspicious.

So, yeah. Long time out. Every chance it won't happen. But that's what is eating my brain these days.

Oh shit, good point! I've been waiting for that literally as long as I can remember!

ETA: Refreshing myself on the details, I don't think there is a conflict here at all. Being in northern OR on August 21 would be pretty much bang on schedule for a normal PCT thru hike. Awesome!

Huh, it actually looks like about as good a place as any in terms of weather, as well: http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~jander/tot2017/tse17intro.htm

Now that would be epic.
