start me up...

As 2019 moves along, I am rediscovering long distance backpacking - for sheer joy, gratitude and my health.

---------------------------------------------------

I get tired just looking at this schedule.  But oh! what fun.  80% of these are with PCTA work crews and friends.  All PCTA trips are trail maintenance projects with great people, good food and FUN.

My intent here is to have an individual blog on each trip:  Dates & plans, pictures b4-during-after, lessons learned AND if there's no entry a few days after each trip - well, then I transcended into another energy form :-).
