Finished the Virtual Pacific Crest Trail (PCT)!!!

 Almost there... one step in front of the other... almost there... almost there...

Oh hullo... I have news!!! We (Little Fox and I) are almost done the virtual Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) on The Conqueror Challenges!!

Seeee... only 8.41 km (that's about 5 miles)... soooo close... LF and I are both hiking so this could go by very fast...

It's been a beary long road... 4000 km... 2500 miles. And every hike we did inched us along the route.

It's been really fun.

But I am beary tired too... 

It's hard to keep the human motivated!

But it's also been a great way to explore local trails...

See this... Spotted Coralroot orchid! It is (let me wiki this): "Corallorhiza maculata is a myco-heterotroph; it lacks chlorophyll and obtains energy by parasitizing the mycelium of fungi in the family Russulaceae."

It's beary cool! And I found a clump of them... wonder if there is a clump of Russula mushrooms here in the fall too?

We are getting closer!!! Less than 2 km... that's about a mile! We are doing it today!

There's a nice clump of camas up here... nice.

And... just like that... we are done the PCT!!!

The app bleeped and burped and... we got our Finisher certificate...

Wow... we're really done... hard to believe. There were points in California (longest state in history) where I thought we'd never get to Oregon...

But we have the final postcard too...

And the app map has confirmed it...

Time for a celebratory snack!!!! And thanks to LF for joining up with us to do this... not sure we could have done 4000 km in 24 months (the timeframe to complete a Conqueror Challenge)... not unless I had taken up jogging and this little bear is most definitely NOT a jogger...

Now... we just await our medals... coming in the mail... unless Canada Post strikes (AGAIN!) on May 22... ugh... Don't they know Real Mail is essential to a stuffie? Should be declared an essential stuffie service... hmph.
