As Scarecrow and Not Ryan approached Half Dome in Yosemite National Park, excited to hike to the top, they came across a newspaper while in town, and read an article about the overcrowding of day hikers on the mountain. This would definitely delay their already tight schedule, so after much debate, they opted to skip the side trip to Half Dome, and continue on the trail. In hearing the disappointment in his voice, I did put it out there that he could always make it a "reunion" of sorts with Not Ryan sometime in the future as a weekend hike. The idea that his dream to hike it is not dead was relieving to him, I am sure.

Out of the 1,720 miles of California that Teddy will hike, he has passed the half way mark by about 200 miles. Although this was no easy feat,
it is still not the half way mark of the trail. He has another 260+ miles left before that day comes... at least once out of California, the rest of the states are only a mere 430 miles (Oregon) and 500 miles (Washington). The seven miles that was added beyond the Canadian border was simply to provide access to Highway 3 in Manning Park, and Teddy should be able to complete that in his sleep after all he has endured thus far.
So with more than half of his time away from us already passed, and approaching the half way mark of the trail, Teddy has lots to look forward to... and lots to look back on... as he wanders through the Pacific Crest Trail.
