The mountains are calling and I must go.
-John muir-
This time of year my mind and the heart wander back to 2007. That is when I set out to hike the Pacific crest trail from Mexico to Canada 2,600 miles long.
I made it 2,000 miles had to quit because of giardia and I hurt my knee.
The end of April is when the main heard start.
I will keep all these amazing people in my thoughts and prayers while they take on this epic journey. Not all will make it to Canada and everyone will have to skip some areas this year because of closures.
I will be out there spreading some trail magic out in Tuolumne and Sonora pass.
So PCTers when you see the girl with fusia hair, tattoos and piercings it will be a good sign. I will have fresh fruit and cold drinks waiting for you at the trail head.
Good luck to the class of 2010.


Somewhere near Idyllwild ;-) alone and having fun!!

This must be an amazing journey.
I am hoping to do just the JMT next year and will call that a big accomplishment. To do PCT... wow, what an adventure!

My friend and AR race partner Dave B. got a head start, setting out on April 18th. Last check he was in the San Jacinto's.
One part of me is very envious; the other part is thinking "better him than me" :)
Hopefully I can meet up w/ him during part of it.

Hey Catra, I've been lurking around your blog for some time now... I found you after doing a search for the PCT back in 2007 and followed your PCT blog for your 2000 mile epic. Not even a bum knee and giardia can stop you!You kick ass girl! I've been trying to arrange a PCT thru-hike for some time now but something alwatys seems to get in the way... irritating stuff like money and jobs and family (well, maybe not family). I hope to start my PCT journey in 2011 if all goes well. I live in Vancouver, Canada, so I'll basically be taking a plane to Campo and walking home. You mentioned you were thinking about taking another run at doing a PCT thru-hike... maybe next year?????
