Day 0: Saturday, March 16 First Camp. Grant comments the wind is heavy and makes a joke that he tucked his tent between two bushes to break the wind. Family responds: “Survival skills are already paying off.” (3 photos)

Saturday, March 16 Southern Terminus, Day 0 Grant expresses a combination of anxiety and excitement. He spent the prior night at a hotel in San Diego and was shuttled to the start of the trail. The family is equal parts excited and nervous. We are all pulling for him. It feels like we are walking the trail beside him.

My brother, Grant is hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, From Mexico to Canada. He started his journey on Sunday, March 17. I am going to document his journey, here, on NOSTR, and turn the private keys over to him after the journey is complete. I will update the feed and then add a daily entry with the texts and pictures he sends back home to us. If you are kind enough to contribute any sats along the way, they will all be forwarded along to him. He is not on NOSTR or really any social media.
