Update 7/25/14

Just a quick update for those wondering...finally made it out of California and into Oregon a little less than two weeks ago. Passed the two-thirds milestone at mile 1778 a few days ago, stopped for an amazing lightning and thunder storm at Crater Lake and now at mile 1852. Still heading north and doing well!

Temporary end of blog

July 8, 2014

Sorry to all following my blog but it has become an extreme burden to try to keep this updated as I hike. Mostly lack of time to write and update blogs but also lack of WiFi, cell signal and cell battery life.

At present I'm more than a month behind and, while I would love to keep it current, I also want to keep it accurate, semi-well-written, and thought out (none of which I can seem to do from the trail). I plan to finish the blog once I'm off the trail - hopefully everyone will check back in a couple months for the conclusion.

I can tell you that everything has been (and is still) going well. I've passed the 1600 mile mark and am nearing the Oregon border. Have made lots of friends and have many of good stories to tell so stay tuned.

Regards,
Yukon (aka Thayer)
