Today I leave from Atlanta and fly to Seattle to begin the journey to the West Coast Trail. There has been a flurry of activity over email between the eight men setting off on this trip. Some of the discussion was humorous other parts analytical, but hopefully we're all set mentally and materially for the hike. I have finally begun to research a bit about just what it is I've signed up for and the more you look into it the more you fear. At first you hear miles of British Columbia coastline in late July and beautiful panoramas appear in your head. Then you begin to read about the trials of the others who have gone before you and you instinctively second guess your initial leanings.
Seriously, it is rumored to be difficult but everyone says that it's well worth it. Stay tuned for updates upon my return. I've created a new label (WCT) for all the posts relating to the West Coast Trail so you can read the whole story start to finish if you like.
