Rich Brickman, sociology instructor at WVC and past Leavenworth City Administrator, showed pictures of his Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) trip last summer. He hiked the 2658 miles that stretches from Mexico to Canada in 150 days. He talked about the 29 resupply points along the route, and the magic of the "trail angels" who provided hospitality to the trail hikers. Some of the hardships and dangers included rattlesnakes, bears, poison plants, water shortages, broken gear, blisters and scrapes from falls, snow, trees, rocks, and slides on the trail, and water crossings.
