I'm sure it was the right decision, but that doesn't mean it doesn't totally suck.

So, we are back in Seattle, and it has started to sink in that we are not going to thru-hike the PCT this season. Which is a total bummer. We have been thinking about it and planning for it for such a long time, and while no one could have foreseen this crazy, horrible spring weather, we still cant help but feel like failures. At this point, however, we are just excited to get back onto the trail, and walk. We have our new itinerary mostly finished, and today we packed our new resupply boxes (now we have about twice as much food as we need, though). And while its nice to be in Seattle, its not where we want to be right now; so we are a bit irritable, waiting for the snow to melt so we can head out again.

It is really turning into quite an adventure though- and I guess we have never been known to do things traditionally and by the book, so this was probably expected. We are thinking of hiking around Mount Rainier and then on the Olympic Peninsula once we get back from this trek. We will see how everything pans out, but God knows we have enough food to hole up in the woods for quite a few months before we go hungry.
