Another Journey
Alright, I failed misserably at putting any entries in my journal while I have been up here in Washington. My time up here has been pretty good, I have had a chance to spend time with my parents, and earn some money while I have been here. I have gotten to expierience some snow, and some wonderful weather for this time of year in this area.
Bernie drove up from California last Tue, and we are taking a plane down to Oakland tomorrow. Then a couple of bus rides and we will be back out at the coast. We are doing another section of the Cailfornia Coastal Trail. This time around we are starting up in the hills north of Monteray Bay and making our way south down to LA. When we hit LA we will jump on Amtrak, and ride over to Arizona, once we get there we will be making our way down to the Mexican border and starting a 800 mile hike up through Arizona, it should be amazing! And then, if that wasnt enough traveling around, we will make our way up to Idaho most likely and we will be doing a 1200 mile hike that runs the length of Idaho, called the Idaho State Centennial Trail.
The Idaho Trail is the one that I am looking forward to the most. I know I will have a wonderful time on all the trails, and they will all be amazing. But Idaho has really been calling me, so it is definatly time to go explore. Bernie and I even talk about perhaps finding an area in Idaho that we both like to settle down in some day (maybe even sometime soon? It all depends)
I originally was only going to spend a month up here in WA, and it has been almost exactly 2 months. I have enjoyed the time here, but I am getting restless to get out and hike some more. My parents enjoyed a great trip to the San Juan Islands last weekend. We had amazing weather. It was cloudy, but it only rained 1 of the 3 days and it was 50 to 60 degrees the whole time. It was quite the enjoyable trip.
Perhaps I will get the chance to do journal updates once and a while from the trail, although I have done such a bad job of it while I have been here, I am not sure if that will work out. I hope all of you have been having a great winter, and I hope spring brings you many wonderful surprises!
