As our feet swell to enormous proportions, we cruise the coast and take a little break!
After a stop in Sonora we decided to take a little time off the trail and see some sights around California and along the Oregon coast. First we have a nice example of our every day dinner time, which...

After our last seventy miles of hell in the Sierra! We say hello to our 1,000 mile mark and goodbye to 10,000+ foot mountains, but not before trying to kill us every 10 minutes!
We had finally made it to Tuolumne Meadows, the start of Yosemite National Park along the Pacific Crest Trail. A milestone to be acknowledged by our feet for sure! Upon arriving there we were immediately...

Out of the desert and into the Sierra's - Raging rivers, huge bears, gigantic mountain passes, killer deer and waist deep snow fields!
To recap, we have traveled over 750 miles and finally made it into the Sierra Mountains. The desert was full of crazy creatures that consistantly tried to kill us. The heat was in the 100s every day...

We made it to middle earth!
We write this to you from inside a thin barrier between us and a mythical landscape of terrible and horrific proportions. What lies outside this tent is something you would see in a sleepy hollow film. Fog so thick you can't see five feet in front of you and howling winds of 60 miles per hour. Totally rockin... Let's take it back a couple days and give a recap on how we came to find this land of terror. It started with a 10 mile stretch of near vertical climbs in 85 degree weather. With 30 pounds strapped to your...

Birthday update...
Just like everything in my life, through the chaos comes orde... wait.. no, it's closer to more chaos, but in a nicer way. Today marks my 27th birthday. It started off with a water faucet shower and then a 10 mile hike up hill. During the course of the day we encountered several dangerous animals, lots of pretty views and some hot weather.
