Yes, once again your intrepid PCT hero and trail raconteur, Switchback, will accomplish a first. I have decided to be the first person to Thru-Trike the PCT. I will get a motorcycle trike and do a PCT corridor road trip. This will be a world's first. Many accolades will be bestowed on me by an admiring public. I will have a color matched trailer behind my trike. I will campout and also stay/swim at the best hotels. I might write a book afterwards like Ray Jardine did for ultra-light backpacking.
Then I might do the CDT and the AT. I will be the first Triple-Crown Thru-Triker. The ALDHA-West will award me the first Triple-Crown Triker certificate with much press coverage, etc. The PCTA will make me a life-member and name a section of the trail after me. The Iron Butt Association will make me a platinum member.
This is too cool. This is too exciting. This is historical. I will see many hikers at the road crossings. I will open up my trailer top and pull out hot buckets of fried chicken, pizza, cakes, ice cream, and cold drinks. I will let the hikers watch me as I gobble down some of these delicacies. I will save the rest of my next road/trail stop and a new set of envious, drooling, super hungry hikers.
Say, this might be something to do each year when I retire. Of course, I will have to have some quick release "Get-Back" whips hanging from my handlebars to keep all the admirers away.
Your obedient servant.
