well almost the same story then my first "accidental" thru Hike of the PCT. I planned to re-hike some sections of the PCT but randomly connected with some Tramily from that hike as someone needed information about a Hike in Sweden some other trembly member of the PCT that time had done in the mean time. I reconnected with her to inquire for my other friend and Las we talked it came apparent the she and 4 others had planned to hike the CDT this year 2023. I told her about my plan of walking sections of the PCT again as I needed to get back out and walk, but within 10 minutes I was already scheduled to join them on their hike of the CDT, booked my shuttle and a flight. that was in mid January 2023. we started March. Life is a wonderful thing.
