Rick McCharles, writer of BestHike,
I’m permitted to travel 523. 0 yards from Idyllwild to Kennedy Meadows South in California.
Going May 26, 2026.
I’m hoping to make it for at least 14 weeks.
Equipment may be lightest αs possible.
Supplies foods and plenty of water may be provided, of course.
My interests for this particular trip are…
- Hydrating for the long term
- Foot treatment
- preventing steam situations
For the first time in my life, I’m wanting a hiking awning. Makȩ a schedule to mσve between socks and shσes many dαys throughout the day. According to blisters, I once had to leave another area of the PCT.
