This is the third time I barely feel my fingers and toes in the morning. Only 178.7 miles to the border, we decided to hike back 10 miles to Skykomish. . . It’s not easy to complete a thru-hike, especially in 2019. We had to learn how to confront and safely deal with uncomfortable extremes of weather and terrain conditions. It’s all about SNOW. . It’s hard to imagine what we had been through. Is it life changing? Yes, it’s life changing. But it’s not just because of the trail itself, it’s about the people we met, trail towns and most importantly, our choices. . We passed the test of heat waves, snow covered passes, creek and river crossing, fallen logs, mosquito clouds, overgrown bushes, wasps attack, lightning and thunderstorm, wildfires, rainstorm, snowstorm and fear monger... I thought nothing can stop us until the September rain and snow. It’s full of pain, tears, stress and struggle. . From the beginning, I have no idea why I’m here, what I’m going to do with my life after, and what I will learn from the trail. Everything is like a mystery puzzle that you are never gonna finish. . After all the struggles, we finally reached Washington. But Washington had different plans for us. It gave us a whole new challenge when it suddenly became winter wonderland. After reviewing our winter gear and our state of mind, we decided to keep going together. It’s weird that we are so close to Canada and yet feel so so far away. . Now, we are not gonna put on our frozen shoes again. Not gonna risk our life to just be there. This is already the craziest honeymoon and the best time of my life. . Thanks for those who gave us rides from trailhead to town, and those who provided trail magics. Thanks all the people we met on/off the trail. Especially Northbound hikers who hiked around us since Southern California, Sierra, VVR and Sierra City. We couldn’t have made this far without these amazing people. Thanks Henry and Cascadia Inn made us feel like home. . . I still believe that everything happened for a reason. Washington, we’ll be back for you. . . Cheers 🥂 🍻 PCT class of 2019. WE ARE ALL BADASSES. . . #pct2019 #pct #trekthepct #pctig #outdoors #outdoorlife #keepitwild #太平洋屋脊步道
