Finally did it! Been wanting to do this since I was a teenager, and now I have. After two previous attempts, getting as far as booking and being either rained out or bailing due to a migraine, I finally got to actually jump out of an airplane. And this one was in Hawaii... on my 40th birthday. Can't beat that.
We did it. Hiked all 75km of the WCT in seven glorious days. I now understand why the West Coast Trail is considered one of the top treks in the world. So much variety of flora and fauna. So many bald eagles, seals, ravens, sea anemones, and even a bear. Also, the largest and most abundant ferns I've ever seen. Don't even get me started on the varieties of moss and fungus. It was wonderful to see such a thriving rainforest. It was such a treat to be able to spend a week immersed in it with good friends.
