Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: July 13th
http://hikefar.blogspot.com/2010/07/july-13th.html
Thursday, July 22, 2010. On the Rim of Crater Lake. Tom got a trail name today from Edelweis: Van Gogh (so perfect). Today this couple was unpacking their cooler at a picnic table and offered us their leftover produce (they were this cute couple from rural Alaska). So for dinner we made this delicious veggie rice soup. Yum. Today we said goodbye to Edelweis. She was hitching off into the sunset (actually, to Shelter Cove). Posted by Tom and Jenna.

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: July 2010
http://hikefar.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 27, 2010. I am reliving my days from two months ago- except in reverse: unpacking, and un-planning this whole trip. We still have 5 huge Tupperware tubs full of food, stacked against the wall. It looks like we will be eating a whole lot of instant rice and oatmeal for the next 12 months (actually, I will be eating a whole lot of oatmeal, because Tom cant stand it now). Posted by Tom and Jenna. Saturday, July 24, 2010. Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Wizard Island, in Crater Lake. We are ...

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: July 12th
http://hikefar.blogspot.com/2010/07/july-12th.html
Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Mazama Village, Crater Lake National Park. When we decided to exit the tent around 7:30, we realized how much dew had accumulated the night before (chilly night without a rain fly). Everything was wet- there was even water drops dangling inside the tent and coating our sleeping bags and gear. We got up and packed quickly, snacking on a cold breakfast to the best of our ability.

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: April 2010
http://hikefar.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Jenna alluded to the stove debate in the last post, so I will review the options that are available to us. 1) We could use a multi-fuel stove that can burn white gas/gasoline. This is what our friend Rob P. did last year in his Sobo try and he thought that there was adequate fuel available. The cons are these stoves are by far the heaviest (some nearing two pounds), and gasoline is a dirty fuel. Posted by Tom and Jenna. The wise words of rob. Our friend, Rob Pudner. Hiked the n...

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: May 2010
http://hikefar.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 22, 2010. We made it to the west coast. Tom and I arrived in Seattle late last Wednesday night, and are now all settled in. We did a gear run to REI today to take advantage of their huge sale for our last minute items, but immediately regretted it because there were far too many people there. The last few days have been really productive in trail planning and purchasing as well. I read all of Yogi's Planning Guide. We are also continuously reevaluating our itinerary. (. We are off (to steal...

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: SNOW!
http://hikefar.blogspot.com/2010/07/snow.html
Wednesday, July 14, 2010. Posted by JoAnn (Jenna's mom) - dictated over the phone. Tom and Jenna made it about 100 miles to Crater Lake National Park in triple digit heat, through swarms of bugs and through LOTS of snow (10 feet). They are resting at Crater Lake and will probably travel around Oregon instead of continuing on. The snow conditions spooked them . and other hikers have told them the conditions are worse up ahead. It was the hardest week of their lives. Posted by Tom and Jenna.

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: July 9th
http://hikefar.blogspot.com/2010/07/july-9th.html
Saturday, July 17, 2010. Sky Lakes Trail by Deer Lake- 4pm. Pretty sunny with partly cloudy skies. Stuck in my head:. Take me home tonight" (ooooh, classic rock). Our tent is full of mosquito carcasses. Everytime we have to leave or enter the tent, we have to do it as quickly as possible and without letting too many bugs inside. Then we have to quickly kill all of the ones that did get inside. The bodies are starting to pile up, and its thoroughly disgusting. Posted by Tom and Jenna. Map of the trail.
