Helloooo internets!
First of all, from both my trail-bound brother and myself, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR MOTHER!
Happy birthday, Mom!
There are plenty of updates from the PCT, but I'll keep it brief for now. Last weekend Erin and Michael went to the PCT kick-off, which is, according to Michael, a chance for the old-timers to give advice to the new-timers, such as, "Do not die from dehydration." Sound council for us all, really. Erin sends the following photos from the kick-off weekend, along with the heartening news that Michael has been given a PCT nickname (perhaps a gift from Staggering Beef??). He now goes by Daddy Longlegs, or Longlegs for short. I can't for the life of me fathom how he got this nickname.
Picture time!

Longlegs at the trailhead near the Mexico/U.S. border, appropriately decked out in gringo gear, I might add.
Erin sent me this picture so we could all appreciate the biodiversity of Southern California
An action shot: this is what Michael is doing all day, every day, for the next few months
Michael made it to Big Bear, CA this week after being dropped off on the trail following kick-off weekend. More to come soon!
