About this site

We’re Rick (“Apollo”) and Erica (“Starbuck”), and we’re taking a shot at hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2015. We try to blog as often as we can, but technical issues (including lack of cell phone service) are a continual hassle. As of 6/10/2015, we've reached Kennedy Meadows and are now in the Sierras: updates will come less frequently. Link: More about us.
