The little piece I wrote:
Five years today I took my first steps on a 2,653 mile-long stretch of dirt that took me from Mexico to Canada… a stretch of dirt that changed my world. I tend to avoid looking back at photos, videos; visual timestamps so tactile I know when my eyes meet their shapes, I’ll be pulled back in-back into a black hole of nostalgia;
youth and joy and reckless abandon.
A timestamp so embedded in who I am,
I avoid looking back because I know- I’ll never have an experience like it again… It’s sad.
It’s beautiful.
It’s growth.
Hiking the PCT didn’t solve my problems. It didn’t give me clear direction.Honestly, it complicated everything.
Every aspect of my life. And for that, I’m most grateful.
It showed me what was possible.
For myself,
for my work,
For my life. It turned out those crazy, beautiful, wild adventures weren’t just things I could read about..
but stories I could go out and write myself.

    You are all so young. I am doing everything opposite of you, where I did all my athletic challenges when I was younger, and want to do my first “major” thru-hike in the PCT after retiring. I would love to have learned the lessons you all learned on the PCT at the age you learned them.

    I have seen many PCT and thuhiking videos in the past. Your PCT video series is what really changed my life. Last year I quit my job and thruhiked the PCT SOBO. I changed my outlook on life ever since I returned to normal society. As a result, next year I plan to quit my job again to finish the last 800 miles I have of the AT from Georgia to Virginia. Then end my triple crown goal till I’m older. Then go over to Switzerland to meet back up with my friends I met on the PCT last year. This time not to hike, but to catch up and explore with my girlfriend. Until that time I will continue hiking 30-60 mile days in VT, NH, and ME. As well as running more ultra Marathons. I just ran a 60 mile race a few weeks ago. I want to thank you for expanding my mind and changing my life. Without your series I would have never done what I did.
