[pct-l] New Wanna be Thru-hiker

[Danny]

I agree with willow. I'm planning a 2016 thru with my daughter, it's been in the works for many years. 2016 is the year we should have all our ducks in a row. My wife will stay home with the other kids and maintain the home. 
My wife will also be sending resupplies and informing whereabouts to family and friend when I'm unable to post journals.



May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. -E. Abbey

Blessed for sure I know and I'm not taking it for granted.  Everyone has their own creative way of making it a reality, some have sold EVERYTHING they own to hike the trail.  Others have put everything in storage, saved enough to pay minimum bills while hiking, and others have had help from family and friends.  I have wanted to hike this trail since 2005.  It has taken me that long to learn about it, save for it, and most of all get the right gear.  I have expensive gear, but checked almost daily for sales events and discounts and have saved a ton of money, yet still spent a ton of money.  The bottom line is if someone wants to do it, they will find a way.
