9 days, 95 miles later.

This is the 5th year we've hiked a consecutive north to south section of the Pacific Crest Trail, with the goal of completing the state of Oregon. The PCT runs from the Mexican to the Canadian border. Hats off to the thru-hikers who do the entire trail in a single season, roughly a 5 month trek.

awesome landscape, from lava to snow to green meadows. the buckwheat pic is gorgeous. for some reason, it makes me happy Joanne is wearing earrings thru it all. :)

this tabblo really strikes me on a few levels. First, and foemost, the photos and the composition of the tabblo. you really tied it all together here, with the group shots, beginning and fini. And the varied mix of hikers and nature. You always pick the unique and ordinary and tie them together to make a great whole. My favorite photo is of Dale with Joanne a very close second. I like the way you personalized this one, Allan. Always a challenge when you make this kind of tabblo. And, i can't help but notice the relaxed, if not tired, self satisfied, happy, melty, expressions in the last group shot. Perfecto!

Too many nice shots!!!! Overloaded LOL LOVE them. Tell David I adore his leg stretch pose! LOL The burn is always sad to see :( Hate that (saw the grand canyon like that...sad)...Do you have that Passport thing the National Parks give out? We do and love stamping that. Looks like it was a wonderful hike with wonderful friends and conversations and memories...not a bad deal for FREE! :)
