Friends on the Pacific Crest!
Two of my best friends Matt and Hannah Abbotts are currently thru-hiking Pacific Crest Trail . They started at the US-Mexico border in California and are north bound walking the 2650 miles into Washington. Currently, they have traveled roughly 450 miles and are about to enter into Majove desert. I’m really pumped for them and a little jealous. They are having a great time and are perfectly healthy. Can’t ask for more than that I reckon. They reported yesterday that most days have been 85-110 degrees with little to no shade. They look forward to traveling up into the Sierras soon. Here are a few pictures they sent to me.
I also want to say that we have been great friends for quite a few years now. Which I am proud of not only because they are really good people that can give you a run for your money in a hot sauna any day of the week; but because they are truly living the dream of chasing adventure. In 2008, Matt thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail. In summer of 2009, Hannah and Matt circumnavigated Lake Superior by kayak as partners (~1200 miles). This past winter they asked me to become a Minister online so I could marry them. I was and still am honored. So after 10 minutes on the internet I then joined their hands in marriage. Now they are a happy couple and hiking the PCT as Mr. and Mrs. Abbotts.
