PCT: Burning the boats

Scout & Frodo's early morning departure

It’s 3AM and I’m wide awake. We’ll start our day in a few hours; breakfast followed by a car ride to the trails southern terminus. Someone will shoot a few pictures to capture our wide eyed enthusiasm and clean clothes. Shortly after arriving the transport crew will depart and we’ll start walking north.

I feel excitement, trepidation, enthusiasm and fear. My strongest feeling is fear.

What exactly have I talked us into?
