Why The "pacific crest trail?"

In 2013 after being fed up with the way life was going (nowhere) I decided to make change and take an adventure. I needed to challenge myself to prove to the world I can do anything.  So that year I set my goals on hiking the entire Pacific Crest Trail.  A 2660 mile backcountry hiking trail that starts and ends at the borders of Mexico and Canada.  While on this 5 month solo adventure I faced many difficult obstacles both physical and mental.  Between the physical elements and mental exhaustion there was always something to be gained.  I physically and mentally grew as a person through my experiences.  I can truly say that trip changed my life.  The only problem was that trip had to come to an end.  So before I was even finished with my 1st  life changing Adventure I was already planning the next one.
