On Thursday May 12, 2022, adventurer, hiker and former golf coach, Marci Kornegay, began the Pacific Crest Trail northbound. The 2,650 mile trail begins at the Mexican border and ends on the Canadian border in Washington State some four months later.
On this exclusive podcast series Marci will be sharing her journey, beginning with the highs and lows, literally, of traversing the mountains in the California desert, encountering a few rattlesnakes and an abundance of lizards, hummingbirds and a few other hikers. Marci tells us how her body is adjusting to the heat, staying hydrated, nursing foot blisters and negotiating 6000ft ascents. Chris Stafford caught up with Marci at mile marker 180 when she stopped to meet the Mayor of Idyllwild, CA, eat some cake and take care of a few essential chores after getting a good night’s sleep.
