Kendra and I travel to San Diego on April 17 and start the PCT at the Mexico border the next day. This morning we loaded our packs with all equipment to establish a base weight. We were both at 15.6 lbs. We then loaded 3 days worth of food and 5.5 liters of water (due to 20 miles to the next reliable water source) to simulate the first few days on the trail. Our packs then weighed roughly 30 lbs each. We left our house on Sandusky and hiked 4.8 miles at the Harrison Community Center trail and Willow Park. So, a productive day!
