For a mid life crisis, I wouldn't restrict yourself to trying to stay close
to home. Splurge! Drive up to the Sierra! Bishop is only a few hours from
San Diego. Ansel Adams and John Muir wildernesses are both fantastic, and
dogs are welcome there. You can do parts of the PCT. You won't get a 100
miles on just the PCT, but you can make loops since you want to resupply
during the trip.
