We finished up our last “house projects” today and said, “That’s it!   Let’s go back to the PCT!”   Sounds like hikers are beginning to get through the Sierras, the snow is melting, and we DO want to make it to Canada before the snow flies!  And I will be SO glad to get away from the pollen or whatever it is that is making me sniff ‘n sneeze.

So we’ve rented a car, and the plan is to drive to Bakersfield, take the bus to Tehachapi, then get a trail angel ride back to the PCT.  Then we get to battle the wind again for awhile–there was a wind advisory there today for gusts up to 50 mph.   Sounds like the exact same weather we had coming IN to Tehachapi!

I admit, though, honestly, to being scared.   I have never done the Sierras in early season with snow and roaring rivers.  Bill has, and he is not worried.   So it’s here we go–I read Yogi’s notes, and she said the scariest part for her was the “down” Glen Pass.   Bill agrees with that.  Well, I guess I will soon find out for myself.

We will send our next trail updates when we reach Kennedy Meadows!
