Getting Ready Cuz It's Really Gonna Happen!!

Dad has wanted to participate in this adventure for some time now, so come April 20th, he will begin his journey all the way UP the Pacific Crest Trail. He found a traveling partner that has done some hiking of his own on other trails and so agreed to accompany dad on this trek!!

We just got back from visiting dad before he leaves and were able to take a few pictures of his preparations and belongings. Doesn't look like very much to me, but I guess when all you're doing is putting one foot in front of the other for miles and miles, you wouldn't want to pack much. He's got everything all figured out just about down to the very ounce, so has been very conscious of what he's putting in his pack. His spiritual lifeline will be his bible and his natural lifeline will be his new Blackberry Storm that he's getting acquainted with.

We hope ya'll enjoy this blog and we will do our best to update on a fairly regular basis. We welcome your comments and encouragement along the way.
