Day 29 – Kennedy Meadows

Enjoyed a chill day in Kennedy Meadows. Visited The Store, hand-washed some laundry, and had a thru-hiker “Lonestar” over for an awesome stir fry dinner Runningbird made. Lonestar is from Texas and will celebrate his 50th birthday soon. He’ a marathoner and has already completed the Appalachian Trail (AT) and would like to go for the Triple Crown. He started the PCT a few days before Runningbird. Here’s a few photos from KM.

Last summer the Canadian border opened at Manning Park, BC. I walked the last 70 miles with a sense of joy and gratitude, the monument was crowded with people from all over the world, finally able to compete their dream. The summer of '23 was incredible for another reason. Lonely for the simple pleasure and renewing life of long distance trail hiking I decided to begin the Continetal Divide Trail ! I hiked from the south I-15 crossing to Canada (about 900 miles), experiencing windstorms, a blizzard, twice daily thunderstorms and days without seeing even a human footprint. I was hooked! Stay tuned as Wingman and I restart the blog chronicling the remaining 2100 miles of the CDT, from Mexico to Montana.

  1. Can’t believe you’re already at the Sierras! It’s going to be amazing – tough undoubtedly, but unforgettable and absolutely worthwhile. Love all these updates. Good luck out there!
