Various Ways the PCT is Marked







Thought you would enjoy hearing about how the Pacific Crest Trail is marked. Whereas the Appalachian Trail is consistently and continually marked with 2" x 4" white blazes and wooden sign posts, the method of marking the PCT is as varied as the terrain. Here are several photos showing the various ways hikers may find PCT signs.

DAYs 64 & 65: Mon. & Tues. Jun 30, Jul 1: ZERO days with Shirley



Shirley and I have enjoyed two days together at South Lake Tahoe. I got my laundry done, packed up three mail drops of food for the next 200 miles or so, and got caught up on my email and blog postings. I will be back on the trail early Wednesday morning. I'll be "making miles while the sun shines." The next milestone will be the half way mark near Chester, CA.

By the way, I will not have the luxury of being close to towns and libraries to upload photos for a while, but will update this blog with text via the telephone as often as possible.

Here are some photos for your enjoyment. Photo 1: getting ready to chow down on one-dish pasta; #2 Slider the cook; #3 the three bearded amigos: Greybeard, Gordon and NimbleWillNomad.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard
