Tualatin REI — "Talking to yourself in the rain": Stories from the PCT
On March 7, 2012, Gleb "Drug Store" Velikanov will be at REI in Tualatin, sharing photos (slideshow) and stories from his 2010 thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail.
The thought of hiking the PCT first hit Gleb while he was in college and 10 years later, on May 9th, 2010 he began his long awaited journey. His presentation covers everything from the arduous pre-hike task of gaining 20 pounds (and losing it halfway through) to hiking ailments, scenery, fellow hiking characters, gear, trail angels/magic and everything in between. If you're considering long distance hiking, particularly on the Pacific Crest Trail, this informative, self effacing, and humorous hiker will help inspire you to get out of the city and into the woods.
23 spots available and the presentation runs from 7:00pm - 8:15pm

$20 goose down vest
Cabela's has a deal on their goose down vest for $20. These may be handy on the trail or at home, either way it's probably faster than making your own. :)

Last year was The Year of the Snow Pack. Will this year be The Year of the Blowdowns? "The Pacific Crest and John Muir trails are both impassable out of Reds Meadow, and much of the surrounding area has sustained damage."

This is where I imagine I will keep the rest of 'the world' updated about the numerous adventures in which I am likely to get involved while on the trail. Since you will be met, described and amplified in the course of the stories, I thought it'd be fair to give you the link. It's soooo close now. 74 days til I take off. I'm ready now.
