Unexpected, how social the trail is and the community that is the PCT.
Would I do it again? Or a different long trail? You betcha!
I've been bitten by the bug and I am a thru hiker. Next time I'd learn from this first one and hike lighter, smarter, & hopefully stronger. But nothing planned.
Right now I'm focusing on finding a job and re-entering the "real world" with its faster pace & sidewalks instead of trail. I start tutoring an ESL student this weekend. I will substitute teaching too. And I'll be looking hard for a flying job. I definately want to fly. In my free time I plan to write. So I will be a busy girl which will help ease the transition.
