    Truly enjoy reading your writing and the pictures are beautiful. Everyday I check to see if you have been able to download another week – you guys must be in Oregon by now. Hope you stay physically and mentally strong…..its like doing a marathon everyday with 40 lbs. on your back, hills and mosquitoes, sweat and dust – I just don’t know how you do it. You’re inspiring, and thanks to you doing this, we get to go along, vicariously. Wish I could be out there, you know, for a couple of days, or a week!
    Continued good luck.

      Thanks for such lovely comments Bob. Yes, we’re in Oregon now, about a third of the way through! We are really struggling for internet at the moment and also time for editing etc as we are doing 25-30 miles per day for the foreseeable! But I write on my phone as we go, so the rest of our journey will be posted online eventually. We have a motel in Cascade Locks booked for 29th August, so that will probably be the next upload.
      Best regards, Danielle & Wayne

    We are really spoiled by this beautifully documented travel reports. The PCT has never been so well described. You are living the dream of many hikers. As the end is approaching and time passes it will be quieter on the trail. Stay healthy, positive and enjoy!!!!!

    Yes, we are spoiled. Magnificent scenery from our armchair. Truly sensational photography and reporting. I just love the variety and masses of wildflowers, the butterflies, reflections and the magic of the blue hour. Best wishes for staying focused and strong.

    Just come upon your excellent site and have read your PCT blog over the past two days to catch up. The praise for your writing and photos is well deserved and I look forward to following now as you update. Best wishes for the trail ahead.

    Once again another fabulous report with stunning pictures. I savour these only reading when I have the time to digest every word and examine every picture.
    What a fabulous experience, you are living the dream. Like Bob above, I’d love to experience just a small section of this amazing trail.
    Stay healthy and happy.

    Well, I’m assuming you guys quit…..hope everything is ok

    • Reply Danielle Fenton 24/08/2018 at 3:12 pm

      Hey Bob, we certainly haven’t quit! We reached the 2,000 mile marker yesterday and are currently resupplying in the town of Sisters, Oregon. It is just an ‘in and out’ though, so no time to upload unfortunately. The smoke has been terrible the last few days and there are wild fires in Washington too, so there are some detours in place but we are continuing! The last 30 miles of the PCT are now closed due to a 300 acre fire at Holman Pass so we can’t legally go to the Northern Terminus and cross into Canada, so we are keeping our fingers crossed it will re-open before we get there, but also working out a ‘Plan B’ to get to the Northern Terminus from the Canadian side. Whatever happens, we are determined to finish! We have just over 4 weeks left now. Our next blog post/ video will be from Cascade Locks as we have a ‘zero’ day next Thursday! 🙂 Hope you still keep following along, it’s hard to post regularly with limited internet and also doing 25-30 mile days!
      Best regards, Danielle & Wayne

    Delighted to see you are still covering the miles. Like Bob, I was a tad concerned even knowing how difficult it is to up these posts.
    I’ve stayed at Cascade Locks near the bridge and hiked a very short section of the PCT. Such a beautiful area. I was devastated when the Gorge had their wildfire last year. Sincerely hope the smoke and fires clear so you can reach the border without hassle.

      Thanks Helen! We’ve had excellent news today – there is a re-route for the final section that still takes us to the monument so we can legally cross into Canada and finish properly! We’re so happy about that. I’m sat in the Bridgeside Diner now using their internet before we leave Cascade Locks. It’s cloudy but the air is much clearer here. 24 days to go – Washington here we come!!!

    Such an interesting room! 24 days to go! Glad to know that. You will eat them up. Reading your newest post just now, it seemed it would take forever.
