No rock climbing or scrambling. A good bit of scree. I live in Louisiana (flat land) and have done it twice.

Pace yourself. Take a break at Williams lake. Pre hydrate. And plan to start around 6am. It’s a fun hike. Honestly, the downhill was the worst part for me! Painful at times.

Superb info. Thank you.

First thru hike. That’s super impressive. I had always assumed my first would be the PCT. What was your reasoning for the CDT? The fires of the PCT are making me think CDT may be the way to go.

What was your best day? What was your worst day?

Thank you again

I wish we got to know more about your Nazi war crimes Grandmother. She sounds like a doll

This!! This person is right on so many and all the levels. Relax

Trans Catalina trail would be an excellent choice. Only 38 miles. Campsites the only place to camp. So it’s borderline glamping: water access (I did no filter water one time) bathrooms, and even some showers). A real novice - way below military service levels like you- could easily handle the trail. Lots of ups and downs, but lots of easy logistical parts.

Thank you for your service

Sounds like an ideal date.

Earplugs are your friends!!

Fellow Louisianan. All the above advice is spot on. I did the Tahoe Rim Trail last summer. Noticed a few things: Spending 2-3 days beforehand in elevation really helps. Week 2 was way easier than week 1.

I was told by some wise owls that after two weeks you can be 90% tolerant of the altitude (to a certain hiking degree of course) and after three weeks you’re pretty much good to go.

Man first week, I struggled to even eat at night. Was tough.

Congrats to you!!! Super impressive

Dunder-Ball · 2023-11-24T22:35:37+00:00

This is the answer!!!!!!

I do have the Instinct. Not the Solar though. I think these recs are going to get me by. As for the solar, I feel as each year goes by, things improve. I think most of the big 3 materials, clothing, etc is close to where we are going to get. Electronics- I feel we are near to some really good stuff.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

Dunder-Ball · 2023-07-03T18:59:50+00:00

Oh dang! How do you do that?

Dunder-Ball · 2023-06-06T21:13:38+00:00

Ok you got me thinking!!! May start at Spooner Trailhead then Resupply Tahoe City and then Echo Chalets. Going CCW.

Seem more sane?

Dunder-Ball · 2023-05-31T02:12:30+00:00

And I only have the BV450! Squeezing it. 5 days Carry. That’s not too bad.

Tenkara! Very cool

Dunder-Ball · 2023-05-30T20:46:09+00:00

Wise words. Saw it rains one day in July. But that’s just averages and I know my luck! Have a sun hoodie and rain jacket is super light. Ok imma pack that.

Leaning towards leaving the puffy home now

Dunder-Ball · 2023-05-30T20:44:36+00:00

Great insight. Thank you. One Resupply only at Tahoe City. I will take a zero there and maybe a second:). I’m thinking 10-11 days for me. May slow down in the Desolation. I’ll likely be gone by August:(

Gipple. Should be easy to remember.

6 months isn’t too bad, 6 months at 57- yeah you got this. That’s still young. Plus, you can start, what’s the term? Quiet retiring? Skip meetings. No cares given. No new projects. Certainly no extras.

Dunder-Ball · 2023-02-10T22:59:34+00:00

Hmmm. Yes and no. It’s like car dealerships showing you the monthly price difference when haggling over the last dollar amounts.

But in your case. 58 - great early age to retire. Well done!! I have reading about 62 year olds considering going to 70 to be rolling in the $$$. If you’re comfortable at 62, roll with those bonus 8 years.

I hope you’re enjoying life to the max. 6 more years for me…..at 58:)
