2002 is the fourth year of the Annual day Zero Pacific Crest Trail Kick Off.  The gathering, near the start of the NoBo hiking season, no longer takes place, but this episode captures the excitement and anticipation of the event.  We hear from PCT statistician Meadow Ed, Henry Shires who’d just set up TarpTent.com, and Flyin’ Brian Robinson who had recently become the first person to hike the Triple Crown in one year. New episodes daily - and PCTpodcast.com you can buy a download of our trail journal and see photos from the series. There are no adverts, but it costs money to produce, host and distribute. So if you enjoy it, and could help contribute towards the ongoing hosting costs, please buy me a virtual coffee - just a small payment that helps. Thanks to TarpTent.com for their support during our hike and with this series.
