\r\n
\r\n Update<\/strong>: I finished the self-supported WA PCT record attempt<\/a> on Tue, Jul 31, 2018, in 10 days, 1 hour, 26 minutes. A rather minimal initial report is available here<\/a>.\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

On Sun, Jul 22, 2018, I plan to start for a self-supported Fastest Known Time<\/a> (FKT) attempt of the 505-mile (813km) Washington Pacific Crest Trail<\/a> (PCT) section. I will start at the Canadian border and\u2014in the rather unlikely case things will go both well and fast\u2014finish at the Bridge of the Gods<\/a>.\u00a0Self-supported<\/a> means that I won’t carry everything from the beginning to the end, instead, I will rely on resupplies in the traditional thru-hiker style. During my attempt, I will not have any\u00a0dedicated, pre-arranged people helping me. However, if you feel inclined to spontaneously join me for some miles anywhere on the (long) way, that is acceptable, as long as it is not pre-arranged and planned.<\/p>\n
