Today is the day! May 4th! Chelan and Hannah's official launch date for the PCT!
As Chelan hits the trail, she has kindly passed off some of her blogging to me (her twin sister Skye). Turns out formatting and typing is a lot easier on a computer rather than small mobile device. She's hoping to post occasionally, but I get the honor of being a go-to contact and writer. I'll also be able to keep you updated on where to send letters or packages as the summer unfolds.
Chelan and Hannah met up in San Diego yesterday afternoon. They spent the night with some very generous "Trail Angels" - people who graciously open their homes or help to thru-hikers - and are headed to start the hiking the PCT this morning.
She called last night and reported that there were 22 people staying with the Trail Angels, of a variety of ages and nationalities. Sounded fun! They'll all eat breakfast tomorrow and then get shuttled to the trailhead. Chelan and Hannah will go try to touch Mexico and the start walking north. Game on.
Chelan is ready. Prepped, packed, and psyched for the adventure ahead. And what has she been up to since her last post? Visiting friends and road tripping down the pacific coast... and thoroughly enjoying herself, per usual. Thanks to everyone who helped her out along the way!

And so, they're off! Cheers to you, Chelan and Hannah.
May the wind be ever at your back, and May the Fourth be with you.
*And the force. Couldn't help it.
