Going back? No. Going forward. Thru hiker Once your heart and spirit have been so deeply touched, there's no going back to who you were before. By walking all those days and miles, you adopted out of ease and habit the ways, values, and rhythms of wilderness life. “Re-entry" becomes a conflict somewhere deep within. Nothing satisfies. What matters to the friends you had don’t matter to you anymore. Now, go find your new life... just don't use your mind, rather use your heart and that new spirit. Listen to it and take your next, bold step! - inspired by a post from Ned Tibbits #pct2018 #pacificcresttrail #pct #afterthePCT

I came a long way. 2650 miles and more than 150 days later, I have completed my journey on the Pacific Crest Trail on Sept 24th! I am happy, relieved, proud, excited... and haven't fully understood yet that the hiking has really come to an end. Hiking the PCT meant freedom and new encounters every day. I got used to beautiful sunsets, landscapes that take your breath away. It was a pleasure to meet all these amazing people on trail - especially @maddyo.14 , @pctiscalling and @ethan160222 ! Thanks to my family, friends and former colleagues for their support and encouragement during the last months. The last two weeks in Washington were the biggest challenge during the hike. We got soaked in heavy rain several times (where also my phone died), had snow several times. We were at a point to turn back and leave the trail due to the weather and limited food. But the weather changed and the sun dried our gear and motivated us to push on.
