The day has come ~ Scarecrow has made it back home to his family after COMPLETING THE PACIFIC CREST TRAIL. Teddy awoke very early Sunday morning, and with more help from our Jump Trail Angels, took a flight from Seattle, and landed in JFK at 8:00 pm. He collected his backpack and stick, hopped on the Air train to Jamaica, and out to Ronkonkoma where Dakota, Jagger and I were waiting for his arrival. Even though he was only gone for 26 days this time, we were just as excited to see him as when he was gone for 5 months. I was happy though, he did not look like the Scarecrow we had greeted last fall. He looks clean cut, happy, and rested. We drove home, catching Teddy up on all our news, and he shared some stories of his last days on the PCT.Of course, I cannot wait to get a hold of his camera to see all of the pictures he took from the last leg of his adventure. They will be posted as soon as we can, along with the stories that go along with them. I cannot say enough how appreciative we are for everyone's support and well wishes through out this journey. Teddy and I both agree we are blessed to have all of you in our lives.
Congratulations Scarecrow ~ 2 trails down, 1 to go. We are all so proud of you.
Happy, grateful, and blessed,
The Thruhiker's Wife

ReplyDeleteRead a bit of the blog. Enjoyed the read. Question for Scarecrow, if he doesn't mind answering. How did you get stove fuel (e.g., IsoPro) along the trail? I'm planning a 2013 PCT thru-hike and am having issues with HazMat regulations.
