> Kennedy Meadows to Cottonwood Pass, June 19 - 24, 2006
>
> First, a heartfelt "thank you, Meadow Ed" for hosting a most sincere Memorial
> Service for No Way Ray on June 19 in the campground at KMdws.! I was so glad I
> made it. With about 50 thru hikers, young & old, current & past, gathered
> around the memorial table while Meadow Ed eulogized, we remembered why we so
> love to hike these mountains as No Way did.
>
> Many of the thrus had been on-trail for the past 6 weeks and already looked the
> part, but the smiles on their faces told a different story, one of
> accomplishment, exhaustion, joy at being done with the desert, and the thrill of
> finally entering the Sierra! A few I remembered from the Kick Off; some of the
> rest I would have the rare pleasure of knowing while living and hiking with them
> along the Pacific Crest Trail in the days to come.
>
> They come from all around the world these days to hike this trail. I believe
> between 300 and 500 people start from the Mexican border with only 25% fully
> completing the journey to Canada before being stopped by Winter. Thirty-two
> years ago I made this same successful voyage, had great triumphs and near-death
> experiences, hiked with a few, saw nearly no one, and had a ball! The lifestyle
> demanded by this trail changes those who travel it. My life was changed forever
> and I knew it, but I didn't know then where it would lead me in life. By
> teaching aspiring hikers how to become prepared for this, deciding what
> clothing, equipment, and logistics work for them and training them in the needed
> safety skills like creek crossing and ice axe use, I hope everyone who sets
> forth from Mexico will go all the way, have fun, and find what they're looking
> for.
>
> Names like Wild Thing, Hot Sister, Detour, Loper, Sunset, Moose & Popsicle,
> Chaiguy, Cache, Karma, Squatch, Meadow Ed, Billy Goat, and Chef all have unique
> stories to tell of their experiences along the trail this year, how they got
> their names, what keeps them on the trail - or not. I hope I can begin to
> impart to those reading this a feeling of what life was like hiking for five
> days and fifty miles with these rare individuals, men and women alike.
>
> Kennedy Meadows, its General Store and trailhead campground, is a fantastic
> oasis-amid-the-scrub-and-pine as I've ever experienced! For the trail-weary
> hiker, it offers two outdoor shower stalls (for two bucks, you get a towel; the
> shampoo and soap are already there!) where you can wash off your tan while
> watching the weather, an outdoor amphitheater that shows movies on Saturday
> nights (you can, also, pitch your tent around the perimeter and stay a while, if
> you please!), a public phone out front that comes with a bench so you can talk
> as long as you want, a well-equipped General Store where, with your credit card,
> you can buy anything they've got (from fish hooks to tee shirts to killer BBQ
> Veggie Burgers out on the side porch!) and run up a tab, and last, but not
> least, trail camaraderie and merriment that causes even old fishermen to listen
> in! Spend an hour on the deck between June 1st and 30th and you'll likely meet
> 5 to 25 thru hikers in various stages of preparation
> for their next trail section while eating heartily, laughing loudly, swapping
> stories, and fixing their feet. The local old-timers claim a corner of the
> porch or a bench or just gather off to the side and watch the swarm. You might
> even meet a celebrated 45-miler on his way through, slowing down for a brief
> bite to eat before driving on up the trail another 10 or 20! There is so much
> civilization here as to cause even the most dedicated hiker to feel homesick and
> think about leaving the trail for awhile (or maybe just for a little while, so
> the snow can melt some more?). Some do.
>
> This is a staging area, no doubt about it. Pick up your boxes, snowshoes, ice
> axe, and bear vault at the Store. Restock the pack. Prep the Bounce Box. Wash
> the clothes and body. Catch up with friends who have been ahead or behind.
> Eat, drink, and be merry. Move on when you're ready. Just another Hiker
> Oasis.... Leaving Southern California. Entering the Sierra Nevada!
>
> Wild Thing stayed a week.
>
>
>
> KM to Monache Mdws next. Lessons in stream crossing, cramps, dehydration,
> dedication, and Advil.
