Journey Complete Wednesday, October 1st - PCT Day 158 Gabe reached the northern terminus of the PCT around 12:50 pm PST today! He is heading back south and will meet family to pick him up at Hart's Pass tomorrow afternoon. We've been unable to keep up with the blog posts due to limited connectivity through Oregon & Washington, but will go back and fill in the missing weeks when Gabe gets home - stay tuned!
