First Week On The PCT: Lots Of "firsts", Including An Earthquake
I can’t believe we started the PCT about a week ago! Time went by so fast, even though our days mostly consisted of „hike, eat, sleep, repeat“. So how was our first week on the PCT?
Start
Our first day started with some delicious chocolate chip pancakes and hot chocolate at the PCT campground at CLEEF, not far from the Southern Terminus. The PCTA crest runners Abbie and Eric gave us a short summary of some LNT (leave no trace) principles, checked our permits, and handed us our PCT „hang tags“ (a tag with the PCT logo that we can hang on our backpacks). Then it was time to pack up all our stuff and go to the Southern Terminus for our start date photos and to sign the train register. That’s where our journey officially began!
