Hello all,
I’m Madhu, male 39 and reasonably fit (at least I think I am!). Never done
backpacking in my life and being a resident of OR since last 2 ½ years, I’m
very interested in doing this. At this juncture of my life, I just need to
be with nature and get out of the routine things that I do day in and day
out.
I wanna do the Oregon PCT: 8/5 to 9/15 - 42 days for 456 miles. Start from
Seiad Valley, CA (CA/OR border) and end in Bridge of the Gods (OR/WA
border). In coming weekends, I plan to hike PCT (nearby Portland, OR) and
check out gear, camping, water, food etc. This should give me a preview for
the actual hike I plan to do.
Would love to hear your comments, advice etc. Also it would be great if I
can meet someone who has done this and living close to the place I’m in
(Beaverton, OR).
Thanks
Madhu
