Kathryn and I had a great time today with these two. Dave and Michelle came out from New Hampshire on Thursday to do one of three sections of the PCT that they had to by-pass last year on their thru-hike due to fires. The Apache fire in this area had them miss the Desert Divide section, so they started at the trail crossing at Hwy 74 on Thursday evening and we picked them up on Black Mountain Road this morning. They got a taste of good weather while they were here and some of the wind Friday night.
It was interesting to sit and talk with people who were able to quit their jobs, go walk 2200 miles on the AT, go home and get their jobs back, only to go and walk 2700 miles on the PCT a couple of years later.
Dave and Michelle were lots of fun to visit with and I only wished that they lived around here. Well, now we have friends in New Hampshire that we can hike in the White Mountains with.
Thanks again for lunch guys. It was great fun.
btw: It was interesting to learn that asabat was the water information source for this area of the PCT.
