My sister just reached mile 2000 on the Pacific Crest Trail, only 663 to Canada. Go Abby Go!
April 15th
My family and I are so proud of my sister. When she told us her plans to hike from Mexico to Canada on foot we thought she was insane, but now we're so excited she about complete a journey she'll never forget
SerpentQueen
Holy shit, that's amazing! Good luck to Abby! Let us know when she makes it to Canada, OP!
MOTHERFUCKINGJUDAS
I bet she smells great

How do people plan food for hikes this long?
docweird
Good luck. Why do I always think people trying things like this disappear, never to be heard again (until bones are found)?
heyheyheysmokeweedallday
Are y’all from Milwaukee?

She'll never forget that she's insane.

No way, stumbled on this in random mode, Abby and I were in the same class at Bay Port!!

Winters coming.

So your the brother? You single?

Damn. Gorgeous people.

as is always true with backpacking photos, the progression of clean to dirty is ridiculously real
DeliciousPotatoeyGoodness
Dammit what's with all these posts about people hiking the trails!!! Why should they get to be happy when I have to adult? :'( Some day!!!
soupisforwinners

bertrex

Getting a head start before we all run to Canada after the election, eh?

I think this is the first time ive seen an american on here use "eh" correctly.

This is an awesome post. Go Abby! Also: you should do a more in depth post once she completes it!
TheKitKeller
Go Brewers ! Actually nvm. Go Milwaukee as a city!
AintNoCompanionLikeABlueEyedMerle
Well, lately, also nevermind... Go Wisconsin as a whole!

I will always upvote people doing things so I don't have to
HEXADECIMAL
This sounds like a lot of fun, stars, camp fires, doing what you want all day.
KScamper
As long as what you want to do is hike from dawn to dusk
HEXADECIMAL
Yeah but it's not timed, you could hunt, fish, you'd get used to the heat and then it seems normal.

Wisconsin represent with the Brewers hat. Always nice to see a fellow wisconite!
GershKuntzman

Congrats on being rich enough to do shit like this instead of work
MaxiMexiBenyBoy
I don't understand this type if comments. You are either jelous or resentful.
Slumdoge
Agreed, I can't afford to take off more then a month off before the bills start piling up.
IceQueenBCG
I wish I was rich. I saved money for a year. Enough to fund this trip and pay my bills while I'm gone.
MacRockatansky
This is the cheapest way to live.
Somewhatpessimisticallyoptimistic
Walking is free.
echonite
But being able to allocate time to do this is not free. Work, bills, responsibility, etc. You need to have some serious cash set up.

Having hiked numerous sections, her courage and will is very impressive. How did she get the time off from work, this is a 6 months (?) trip
ThatNameWasTaken
Has she hatched any good Pokémon?
IceQueenBCG
I wish. I rarely have service out here.
AerifiedVallah
there are only a few reasons to take a phone to that kind of experience. pokemon is by far the most important one
PirateRubberDuck
I cant see solar panels or a generator so probably not.
ThatNameWasTaken
I have a similar backpack and it has solar strips on it. Although 2000 miles with no pokestops to get more eggs could be an issue as well

So, start to finish, how long does she think this will take?
MethGasolinePissLemonade
It's between 2-3 months

I can almost smell her from here! Seriously, congrats to her! She looks like a happy, down-to-earth person, and I want to buy her a beer.
IceQueenBCG
I'll take a beer
notitnoti
Well, I'll buy just about anybody a beer as long as they aren't a ass, so okay, I'll buy you a beer if we ever meet!
VernonLamb
How can people afford to do this?
sloppybear
Why does it take a lot of money?
VernonLamb
The time off work would bankrupt most of us.
sloppybear
How long does a hike like this take?
