Hi Free Bird! I can take you to the kick off (and where ever else you might need to go) from the Cajon pass on Thursday if you haven't already arranged a ride.

Hi Karen,
I saw your post on the pct-l about PHD. If misery loves company, then you & I would have a blast right now if we were hanging out![]()
.
I don't have an answer for PHD, but I speculate that Billy Goat might. If you don't stop hiking, then you'll never be depressed!
'Life' in the 'real' world is so incredibly boring, mundane, monotonous, and just downright insane compared to the thru-hiking lifestyle that I think the only way hikers can find fulfillment/joy/happiness in society is to find some type of activity that is truly inspiring (which is hard to find).
My primary focus is metaphysics/spirituality & since the best place to listen to the 'still small voice' of God is in the wilderness, that is where I often feel that I need to be. It is also the only place on earth where I truly feel that I belong. Escaping from the distraction & insanity of the rat race provides a wonderful opportunity to commune with God.
You might enjoy my last entry in my newest trailjournal:

Anyways, I hope that you recover from the PHD and that I we cross paths next year on the PCT. (yes I might just walk it again - third time was definitely a charm, fourth time's a ....?)
I'm off to Maine to hike the AT southbound (starting in early July) and then maybe the Florida Trail or biking cross-country to San Diego & my favorite long distance trail on earth! The Crest is definitely the best.
Happy Trails,
freebird
PS Have you heard from Tom Fisher recently? I've emailed him a couple times, but no response...
