Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I would love to walk the Pacific Crest Trail - though it truly is hiking and you need to be prepared for such. Unfortunately, I have to keep my job and don't have the time it takes to allow for such an undertaking. Good luck!

I have this fear of my safety.I think I would feel better if I had a person or two with me. Or maybe I would feel better if I did a walk on something like the Pacific Crest Trail..My son graduates from college this summer and will be moving out on his own so I will have a situation in my life, for the first time, where I could do something like that.Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yes it is my only time off I get...I like hiking solo....most of it is easily to follow, I carry maps and directions for each section when I go There are some rough sections but the only time I had trouble was going too early and losing the trail in the snow...but I came home ok.... Jane That's wonderful. Do you do it yourself?I get afraid I will get lost.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 If you are not an experienced hiker you might want to check for a fairly short area close to where you are....I am in NO CA and have done most of it from the Feather River North to Mt Ashland...still have about 80 miles to fill in. I cannot say which part I like better...I can think of so many things in each section that was spectacular! After I fill in the blanks I intend to start going south from Feather River and North from Ashland. Right now I am in training to climb Whitney this summer with a friend. Jane That's what I will do. I will just do a section of the trail.Is there a particular one you would recommend?Kathleen> >> > I do sections of the PCT every year...some day I want to be able to walk > > the whole thing!> > Jane> > > > > > In a message dated 1/20/2010 6:00:12 A.M.

No you did not tell me about last year...but I have heard some stories from people that would make the hair stand straight up I tell you! Every time I think I heard it all I hear another one.Best wishes on your new one. Jane I liked the nickname you earned from that adventure, wasn't it gone missing?Are you doing a different section this year? How's the tax season shaping up?We may have found a good tax accountant this time, did I tell you about our debacle last year? yikes....hope you get some hiking in before tax time.laurie> >> > I do sections of the PCT every year...some day I want to be able to walk > > the whole thing!> > Jane> > > > > > In a message dated 1/20/2010 6:00:12 A.M.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 all of my muscles, ligaments & where the muscles attach to the bone, go into spasms and knots. painful spasms and knots. i haven't been able to find a doctor who would do more than a routine panel of tests. the last 3 doctors have all said my tests are 'normal' so there must not be anything wrong and it should go away soon if there is. There is no 'evidence' that anything is wrong. Which really irks me, because anyone could feel all the knots in my muscles & ligaments, especially my massage therapist. It is slowly getter better, I make sure not to drink too much plain water, for some reason it seems to flush all my minerals away. I used to drink lots and lots of water all day because my throat gets sore. To clarify on that, our water here is 99% pure with no minerals & a PH of 7, so it's not like drinking well water or other water that has minerals in it. When I drink water now, I splash in a little lemon juice, juice, potasium salts or something to add some electrolytes. No milk, low grains, and low fats, and I'm not sure what else, oh and I had to stop taking my heavy duty multi vitamin, i think it had too much of something that was throwing my system off. So I need to make another doctor appointment with a new doctor and see if she'll do a full mineral panel and see if i'm really off on something. Sorry to gone, but figured if i was going to send an update, i'd cover a bit more. laurie > > Why can't you hike now? > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
