The $64,000 Question Answered

Well, we now know the answer to our questions posed on a previous post. No, we don't have what it takes to complete the most awesome trail in the world, at least not right now. Some plans are just sitting over the horizon, not fully formulated, yet worming their way into our brains.

We are still in a fog, it was just beginning to lift as we left the trail, but it has now slammed back down onto our brains. We are hoping that the future plans may help alleviate this state of being.

All this being said, we have not lost our grip yet on realizing our dream, the hope of their being another shot in the future is what we are holding onto right now. Without that hope, our future would appear very bleak indeed, at this moment in time.

So for now, we are heading out for a road trip ( we LOVE road trips), heading into Utah, hike some among the arches, camp some in the desert, and we are hoping to hook up with some of our hiking buddies who are still on the trail on our return home. We are looking forward to providing a little trail magic if we can find them. We may spend some time in the redwoods, we need to feed our souls again. We will be posting about our road trip on this blog, so feel free to take a look ( we will be doing some hiking) if you don't mind that it won't be about the PCT.

In closing, we would like to mention again all of those trail Angels who helped us along the way, giving for the joy of giving, you won't be forgotten.
