Erik left the following message on Facebook today: PCT hike update 110 miles into it. only 2,540 miles to go! in Warner Springs California. life is good, my feet feel like they've been hit with a sledge hammer. never been more happy! Granquist out-
Jack left this message yesterday: Whoop, Whoop!! We've hiked 111 miles in the last week and made it to Warner Springs, CA. Decided to spend the money and stay at the hot springs/resort here to let our blisters/feet heal for a day or 2? Best way to sum up the trip so far... Amazing! we pumped out 64 miles in the last 3 days and have seen some awesome things. A whole lot of desert and mountains and everything in between. Later-
I just spoke to Brad and Jack. They were in the Cantina having a cold beer and listening to a guy playing a harmonica. Erik was out star gazing. They were told this would be the only resort that they would come across on the trail. And....it's a hot spring resort at that. Sounded like a great place to take a rest. According to Brad they are still living 'the' dream......even when they are walking 20 miles a day with a 50 lb. pack.

My best friend and I went out to Warner Springs this weekend with our Mom's to celebrate Mother's Day. We met Brad at the Cantina on Saturday night- what a fine young man he is! We were all so intrigued by this journey... and I just had to follow the blog! I wish the boys the best of luck and hope we can stay in touch. Thanks Mrs. Peterson for recording the journey- what an awesome mom! :)
