Mozey Walk-on

CDT took me 140 days and it's 450 miles longer.

So based on that, combined with I'll be getting off trail three times for the solar eclipse, the birth of our 5th grandchild, and an Alaskan cruise with my wife, I'm pushing for a mid August finish before another trip to Alaska and BC.

If things don't work according to my plans, I'll regroup and figure out how to finish in late Sept or early October.

Hadn't heard of it and had to google it, but it sounds awesome. Are you hiking the entire thing?

That is my hope, but success rates run between 20 - 25 percent.

Good luck! Looking forward to following along from CB.

But the fact that I was able to complete the CDT makes me believe my odds are a little better than average.

Mozey is also my trail name...

You need a new name. 20 miles a day is better than mozeying.

At the resupply towns do you have access to showers and laundry?

Yes--in fact I'm at one now (Julian) doing those very things.

Right now I'm just trying to make it to Anza by Easter Sunday so I can attend the Branch there.

Likewise when you get up to the Snoqualmie area.

This is the OR/WA bridge right? kind of scary construction, but beautiful view

Yep. Pretty cool view though.

Good luck. I’m about 50 miles from one of the most beautiful sections, the goat rocks in Washington. Perhaps we

I love hearing about normal folk dreaming big, then getting it done. Nice work!

I assume its a thru-hike no breaks? That would put you finishing end of July

Mar 28, 3:39pm

I don't know that's the definition of thru hiking.

Really awesome. You're living my dream, but I'm right behind you (I hope).

Thank you. I'm sitting here in Warner Springs now trying to figure out my next move.

I think that is a very wise move. Coincidentally, I will be driving not far from Warner Springs next Wednesday. I'm sure
