    Been moving slower along the trail then I thought I would - and crossing into Washington state today. The vortex pull of the amazing trail towns and craft breweries was too strong! I am hearing then Camino calling also... more adventures getting lined up for after finishing the PCT!

    Marijuana is legal in all three states of California, Oregon, and Washington. There are some hikers that partake on a regular daily basis. Most hikers I meet only partake in camp at the end of night as an occasional ‘medicinal aid’ for sore muscles and to help with sleep.
