Have to admit to some envy for a young acquaintance who’s off to hike the Pacific Crest Trail.
It’s a strenuous trek, backpacking the 2,663 miles through Washington, Oregon, and California – the Western counterpart to the older, iconic Appalachian Trail.
And it’s bound to be a totally different experience than he had on the AT.
I became acquainted with Samson as one of our lifeguards at Dover’s indoor swimming pool. And now he’s away for the summer, starting just a few miles from the Canadian border and heading south.
He’s promised to update us on his blog, Samson PCT. (PCT is the in-name for the trail. FYI.)
Here’s an invitation for you to follow his progress, too.
Not bad for a kid from a little north of New York City. My, oh my!

Not bad at all, I hope he has a wonderful time.
