Last week while backpacking a section of the Pacific Crest Trail in Oregon (76 miles from Willamette Pass to McKenzie Pass) I met 12-year-old Tin Tin (his trail name), who was hiking all 455 miles of the Oregon PCT with his mom. Many adults wouldn’t allow — must less encourage! — a kid to take on such a quest, but his mom had confidence in him and, more importantly, he had confidence in himself. I was inspired by his tenacity, as well as what he considered essential for the trek. What did he have tucked in his pack? Books!
What he carries . . .
books are a wonderful thing to bring along. There is always down time and books help fill that time in. He will have a wonderful memory of this trip and so will you and Damien.
I am so proud of their accomplishment. They loved spending time with several hikers they met along the trail. Learning to be comfortable by yourself; learning to feel a part of nature; learning to set a goal…plan, train, and accomplish it are wonderful life lessons. They will remember this adventure forever.
What a wonderful adventure for both of them! Making memories that will last a life time. Be safe and careful.❤️
Awesome adventure!
So very proud of Tiina and Damien for accomplishing this HUGE hike. So amazing, I definitely couldn’t do it.
They will remember this trip always and great friends along the way.
