Hoped to do a full thru-hike (or at least all of California) but the Winter of 2023 put an end to that dream. As did the plantar fasciitis I developed near Big Bear after skipping the snowy SoCal mountains and restarting at Whitewater. In the Autumn, there was rain in SoCal and I finished sections B, C, and D. In conclusion, all I can say is that I hiked the first 650 miles of the PCT - the Desert Section and some Sierra section. I met a lot of great people on the trail: NOBOs in the Spring and SOBOs in the Fall. Good times!
