Pacific Crest Trail - Day: -2
Start: San Diego, CA
End: San Diego, CA
Miles: 0
The excuses to come to San Diego for a couple days ahead of starting the PCT were 1. Catch up with a couple old colleagues who have turned into good friends, and 2. Take a medical exam for a Canadian permanent residency application.
If driving through 4 hours of Southern California traffic was a great reminder of why walking in the wilderness for a few months sounds like a wonderful reprieve, answering the same medical history questions 4 separate times drove it home.
- Online check-in forms
- Office check-in forms with pen, paper, and clipboard
- Nurse examination
- Doctor examination
No, I don’t smoke cigarettes, no I’m not taking any medications.
I’m starting the PCT at 6’2”, 208 lbs (fully clothed, shoes on) with a blood pressure of 125 / 89. Not bad for staring down 40 at the end of the trail.
