Great week 2 on the PCT!  Filled with early mornings, pizza, and cafeteria dinners. Youngbeard and Andrew (still no trail name) hiked from Julian to Idyllwild. The 102 mile journey had many ups and downs and several interesting aspects. Dodging jets on the mountain side, battling injuries, and trekking long miles. We survived rat infested trailers, cold windy mornings, and the draining desert sun. We hiked our first over 20 mile day clocking in at 26 total miles on the day just to get burgers and beers at the Paradise Cafe (which I do have to say have some wonderful burgers and fantastic service to thru hikers). We are meeting a ton of people and had a guest on the show. Clinton is from Denver CO, originally from Atlanta GA, and talks about why he is out on the Pacific Crest Trail, his profession as a tattoo artist, and nutrition on the trail. We talk about some of the interesting people we’ve met along our journey on the PCT, some of the trail names that have been given to others, and the story behind the names. As the three of us sit down at the end of a long relaxing weekend in Idyllwild sharing stories, experiences, and future expectations, we start to get our minds and bodies ready and focused for the epic journey ahead of us on the PCT.
