Eric Ryback kicks off the PCT season
This is the kind of news that the internet is great for. Eric Ryback was the first person to through-hike the Pacific Crest Trail in 1970, at 18 years old. His book was an inspiration for my hike in 1996. I always wondered if he remained an avid hiker after that. This year the Onion attended the PCT kickoff party, and who showed up to give a presentation but Mr. Ryback himself! How cool. Thanks to the Onion for sharing!
That was a great book!
I would like to meet him and chat about all his time out there…
When are you going next?

I have some extended outdoor time in the works. It will involve through hikers, but is not a through hike. Stay tuned
