As of the end of my 4th night on this Coast to Coast trail, I had hiked about 115 miles from the waterfront at the Seattle wharf to just outside of Ellensburg, Washington. Averaging around 29 miles\/day is a faster-than-typical pace for me, especially at the start of a hike. Some portions of my PCT and CDT thru-hikes were nearly at the same clip, but usually for short periods specifically to get to town before a storm, etc. However, with this current hike I’m intentionally coming out of the gate aggressive to see how my feet and legs respond. If they hold up, I may try to set this as my standard pace for this hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the biggest differences I’ve observed so far compared to a wilderness hike: 1) I rarely need to treat\/filter my water, 2) two days is a large food carry on my chosen route and almost never required, 3) I have yet to meet another hiker, though many cyclists, and 4) It makes me smile that- echoing the old George Harrison song- any road I’m on is the right one<\/a>. After a number of established thru-hikes, it’s relaxing to do one with a single, simple rule: hike a continuous footpath across the U.S. from the Pacific to the Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the pace I’ve set, it’s not surprising that I’ve got some foot issues, mostly in the form of sore spots where I don’t yet have sufficient callous built up, but overall my legs and feet have held up well and except for one rainy day have mostly kept dry too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water has been in abundance here<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoy the photos- I’ll do my best to try and find interesting things to share along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the best!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
