Thought it would be a good idea to call the bank and cc companies and let them know what I'm up to. I'm driving out to CA from Maine and back afterwards, a different route each time. This made listing off the names of all 28 states I'd be traveling through very entertaining. Luckily the phone center person was a good sport.

Anyone know the total distance of the PCT this upcoming season? I think it's slightly longer this year compared to last after they opened a new route in Washington late last season...

Hey guys! I'm here to talk about maps again.
We need 1 more person to sign up for maps in order to get the first step of discounting! So Now is as good a time as ever to sign up!
Second: I still need someone to step up and deal with money. I promise that you do not want a 17 year old dealing with your cash. One idea that I had was maybe setting up funding through a kickstarter, that way, if we do not get the minimum order of 20, there is not a huge pool of money sitting around.

Lets make this happen!

Is there a list of the major river/stream crossings on the PCT??

Still need some items for your trip? Write to the companies and you'll be shocked how willing they are to help you out - it costs nothing to type an email...

I'm having trouble setting/planning a resupply itinerary for myself for my trusted shipper at home...is there anywhere where I can find a loose example of one or is anyone willing to share theres as an archetype for me...? appreciated

One thought for anybody planning on taking Greyhound to San Diego for start, who is coming from points east(ugggghhhh i hate greyhound). Check out taking it to Calexico instead, walk across the border, then take cheap (less than 10$/110 pesos) bus to Tecate, where u can walk across the border again to Campo. All of the bus stations involved are very close to the border.

i am just sort of interested in some of the creative ways people are actually going to GET to the trailhead?? Do most people fly? This is when the real adventure actually begins for a lot of us.....especially us noobs.

i personally am just planning on walking out the door, to the transit station, and connecting with a san diego bound train... i have some plans in order once i get to SD, but basically, the adventure begins when i hug and kiss my gf goodbye and head out the door for 6 months....

from the gear geek dept: I've been using an MSR Titan Kettle for about ten years now and just got an Evernew 0.9L Non Stick Ti pot (I like to cook my liptons, never can make them to my liking with boil-in-bag and pot cozy) and this thing rocks. It boils considerably faster with my cat food can stove than the MSR ever did and no boil-overs
