yeah, that sounds cool!

no intro, I'll just get to the good stuff and then go back if i find time. cool. 4 months ago my good friend Matt w. told me he was going on this trip. hiking. for five months. 2,650 miles. at the time i said "yeah,that sounds cool" maybe I'll hook up with you for a week or two. as time went by and my life went through a lot of twist and turns, i came to think that it was a great idea to just say screw it and do the whole darn thing with him. the hiking trip i am talking about is the Pacific Crest Trail, and it runs from the U.S./Mexico border north thru 700 miles of dessert, up into the Sierras, up on into OR. and W.A. and ends just inside of Canada...2,650 miles. yeah, so i quit my job that i hated(bar tending, getting paid to get people drunk doesn't really make you feel good about yourself at the end of the day) bought a bunch of really cool gear and have spent the last 2 months at the book store learning how to not die in the wild. i am really looking forward to this trip, a lot of REALLY bad stuff has happened in my life over the last 5 months and i know this is just the thing i need in my life right now. Matt w. is flying in tomorrow from T.N. and then we will spend about a week getting all of our last min. stuff taken care of and then its south to the border!!! i will be updating this blog from the trail via the Internet and my awesome sister Rebekah with trail notes, photos, maps, video, and maybe some other cool stuff if i get the time. i will also post if we will be in a certain area and you can hook up with us and do some awesome hiking this summer! i'll upload some photos of my gear and supplys in a few days.
