Hike-a-thon begins...the first 6 miles

Well, I started off hiking 2 miles per day for the WTA Hike-a-thon!

I met with some friends in Davis, CA and hiked two miles on the UC-Davis Arboretum trail. Then I spent the next day with my sister in Folsom, CA and hiked 2 miles on the American River Trail.

Next, I met with Ryan on the PCT near Yreka, CA and I hiked 2 miles on the Yreka Greenway trail while he caught up with his blogging on the internet.

I hope to hike a couple of miles on the PCT with Ryan when I drop him off. Don't forget to check out his blog

I hope to hike at least 40 miles on my own at home, on my layovers at work and while joining Ryan on the PCT. If you don’t want to donate via credit card on the website, checks can be made out to WTA and sent to me at the address below. Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
