[pct-l] Tuna Helper's 2012 Speed Record Attempt Blog and Photos

[Randy Godfrey]

Tuna Helper! I am loving your photos. Great to see them. My sweetie and I just returned from hiking in the Anza Borrego Desert last week and were noting the PCT crossing at Scissors Crossing a couple of other places near Warner Springs. I just had to jump out of the car at Scissors Crossing to check out the trail (border patrol, parked off the road checking me out with binoculars). Anyway, your beautiful photos and my recent visit to the PCT origins have me excited to do my (far off) thru hike.

Randy

Hello All,
     It's been 6 months now since I got off trail near Crater Lake,
but I've finally wrapped up all my PCT stuff from the hike last year.
I managed 1864 miles in 42.5 days, and set new PCT Midpoint and
California records, but the entire trail record still alluded me. On
my attempt I took a great many photos and also kept an audio trail
journal for every day. Because of this, and the nature of the hike I
did, I wanted to share it with those who might be interested in such
things. Thus, I created a trail journal style blog, where you can read
the journal and or listen to the actual audio recording. Also
available on the page are links to my full 500 photo PCT 2012 album, a
link to download all of the audio journals, a like to download all of
my GPS tracks and campsite waypoints and a variety of other related
documents. It's been a while in the making and I'm happy it's almost
done! Who knows if I'll attempt it again, but I know now that it is
quite possible to exceed your own goals and nothing is out of reach!

The last post will go up today at 6:00pm MT, it's what my feet looked
like 2 weeks after I got off trail. Yeah, you don't want your feet to
look like that!
If you find a link that doesn't work or a different problem, please
let me know and I'll try and fit it!

Hope you'll enjoy and share with others.


Cheers,
Ryan "Tuna Helper" Weidert.
