Financing My PCT Expedition

I figured out how I can save for my expedition! Although $1,378 seems like not enough I could do some things to pad it like double or triple each amount for that week. I plan on transferring the money from my checking to my savings. This way I'll get a little interest added along the way. AH HA!!

Reading the book, Wild.

This is the book Cheryl Strayed wrote sharing her experience of hiking the PCT. Learning some neat history about the PCT. It was designated by an act of Congress on October 2, 1968. It was constructed first in the 1930s and then completely designated as the PCT in 1993, the year my son was born!

Currently Crista is trying out recipes for snacks/meals we can bring with us on the hike and she will send Joanne and I samples of her creations. You ever heard of chia seeds? I guess it's like granola where you can put it in almost anything you wish such as yogurt, mix with your fruit, stuff like that. Excited to taste the homemade goodies!

I've decided from here on out in each post, I will choose a word from the Wild book and post it in the blog along with its meaning. Yes! What a great, fun idea Sammy!
