Kickoff

Kickoff has been great.  I was reunited with friends I had made those first few days who had hiked on ahead of me.  I made new friends.  Everyone was swapping stories of their hike.  All of us are anxious to get back on the trail. There were informative classes - PCT flora & fauna, mountaineering skills, Bears, Trail cooking and more.  In the evenings we had trailside readings and watched video clips of the trail. Fun!  My trail name has evolved.  My fellow hikers gave me a new one.  I'm still Helicopter, but, because of my "crashing & burning" in the beginning of my hike I'm now known as Black Hawk Down.  I pick up my hike in the morning from scissors crossing.  Yay!
