OK I’m really committed now. Today I booked my one-way flight from Austin TX to Sacramento CA on April 10th to begin my adventure. Thanks to a friend, Terry, from last year’s ADZPCTKO, who said he would will pick me up there and then we’ll both be going to Ned Tibbit’s Mountain Education’s Snow Basic Course around South Lake Tahoe on April 11-13. Afterwards the course Terry and I will be traveling south where he will drop me off at the Carpinteria CA train station for me to travel to San Diego. If everything works out Frodo and Scout, trail angels, will pick me up from the station and get me to the start of the trail for the adventure of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.

Update: Also got my AMTRAK train ticket from Carpinteria CA to Solana Beach CA. Now I have all the necessary tickets.
