Hike for a Hospital

I am on the Amtrak train right now travelling from el paso, Texas to lordsberg, new Mexico with 3 other CDT hikers. Annie Mac and i flew from san diego this morning and we met up with aquaman and sweet as in el paso at the train station. We are all planning on staying with trail angel sam hughes tonight and hitting the CDT tomorrow.

I have a great two weeks In California warming up, reacclimatizing and hanging with all the great hiker trash i met last year on the pct. On the weekend over 1000 past, present and future pct hikers gathered at Lake Morena for the ADZPCTKO party and it was great to see so many familiar faces that i thought i would never see again. My fellow whiskey gang members and friends hiked up a small water and beer cache 2.5 miles up the hill for the 2013 hikers. In 2 days almost all of the 60 beers were drank but only 3 of the 8 gallons of water were gone. Good work 2013ers.

I was glad haves able to get back on the pct over the last 2 weeks and it brought back many fond memories. I am looking forward to making more friends and memories hiking this year and I am beginning to get very excited about the whole thing. 1 day to go.
