A friendly place for casual discussion that doesn’t warrant a post. What’s up?
Got a PCT permit!!! Start date is a bit later than I’d like, but that’s okay.
Next step visa and upgrading gear.
Congratulations! When do you go?

The (day) trip to Channel Islands NP off the coast of CA by LA is coming up! It’s not backpacking (kayaking + hiking) but I am super excited to get out there and see it.
Snows are filing in the mountains out West. A recent flyover on the way to Denver showed some impressive coverage already; Tetons are similar and ski areas seem on track to open soon. The mountains of Central ID don’t seem to be getting quite as much snow yet from my far-off visual inspection haha. I am wondering if the Pioneers will be covered by Thanksgiving or not…
Kind of planning on hunkering down for the winter up here and do XC ski day trips, planning trips for next year, and working on our ultralight teardrop trailer build, which is nearing one year in on the build, ouch. If we get lucky, we might be able to go south for a winter hike - with the husband’s new job in SoCal, we will have opportunities to explore down there (he works remotely but has to be onsite periodically).
Additional snow report: just flew down to PHX and the mountains by SLC have snow, but not much yet. Completely dry further south.
