Local Kinesiologist, Rick Kaselj, Present Slideshow on Hiking from Mexico to Canada

May1st, 2002 Rick, Pat and Jill stood at the Mexican/US border. With 13 years of dreaming, 7 months of planning and 1100 meals prepared and packed into 30 food boxes, they began their 4300 Km walk back to Canada. Over the next 5 months they would walk through California, Oregon and Washington encountering 40-degree baron desert, 55 Km stretches with no water, attacking bears and killer mosquitoes. They would climb the equivalent of Mount Everest while venturing through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. While crossing Oregon they would walk around Crater Lake, Mount Thielsen and over Mount Hood. With Washington State standing between them and home, it was a climb over the Cascade Mountains passing through Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams and Mount Rainier. After walking through spring, summer and then into fall, signs of winter would welcome them to Manning Park and mark the end of "A Walk to Remember".

Pacific Crest Trail 這是一條非常誘人的經典trail.
不能走全程,走其一小,小段也可嘗心願.

I've made reservation for Lulu and I already.

If anyone likes to go, please call (604) 532-3590 first because they want to know how many chairs needed to put in the room.

One of my former officemates in southern CA did it 25 yrs ago by himself right after he graduaded. He told his employer that he needed something to do before he became a dummy figure. Someone joking about his hiking says that he did not complete the whole trail because he did not pass the Mt St Helen. The trail near Mt St Helen was closed after the volcano in 1980. So he must hike off PCT to avoid the closure. If you really interet to know how to do the PCT, I can find his email for you.

I agree that you always aim high. However, I have an easier proposal. Last yr when hiking around the Mt Baker, we (w/河童) talked about exchage car keys on the summit of the trail to cross from USA and Canada. It means one group takes off from USA side to head to north. Another group from Vancouvor heads to south. By GPS, we can precisely nail to a place, where we are to exchange car keys at the pinnacle. There is a police movie about this trail. In the movie, the chasing from police happened along this trail. It is an old movie, 1988. U might interest to watch it. Movie: “Shoot to Kill (1988)” by Tom Berenger.
