Starting our 4th Season . . .

​This is the beginning of our 4th backpacking season since we started the PCT and Scouting Dollars for Scholars.

In addition to our longer summer trips we have completed many day hikes, weekend backpacks and shorter multi-day backpacking trips of the PCT.  We’ve covered virtually the entire section of the PCT from the Mexican border to Tehachapi and most of the sections from there to Lake Tahoe.  In total we’ve hiked over 850 miles or approximate 1/3 of the PCT.

This summer (beginning July 20, 2019) our plan is to cover an additional 200 miles.  This will fill in some of the sections we are missing near Lake Tahoe.

Because of some very generous people we have raised awareness of the JOYA Scholars and approximately $10,000 for their program.

We hope that you will follow our progress, this summer, on the PCT and more importantly, support the JOYA Scholars.
