Miles?? That’s the question. How long will I be off trail? Until there’s miles to write about, I’ve got to suspend this daily thing. Aside from the few days I dragged myself through the snow, I haven’t really hiked in two weeks. Too long. 700 miles of calluses and muscles are going soft. My tan is fading.
The Crux. The desire to hike is real and present. The question for me is where to do this hiking. Do I return to the CDT hiking NoBo although it’s possible that winter snow will fall before I reach Canada? Do I jump on the PCT instead and finish the CDT another year? What do y’all think? Stayed tuned my friends and thanks for all the support!

Congratulations on all your terrific efforts! I made a Tribute Donation to ThyCa in honor of you and all that you have accomplished. All best wishes, whatever you decide.
Thank you so much for all the support!
If winter is not yet here, why not continue north on the cdt until you get to the end, or until you actually can’t go any farther. Who knows when the snow will actually fall. Might as well give it a shot. I don’t understand the hardships that have lead to your cross roads, I hope you make the best decision, whatever that is for you.
Thanks for the shout out and input. Late CO snows had most hikers flipping. I’ll be back to trail soon though!
We just started our westbound pnt hike and met a couple of flippers! Enjoy your break, have a great journey!
Have a great trip!
