Jackie McDonnell "Yogi" - Yogi is a triple crowner. She hiked the AT in '99 & attempted the PCT in '01. (Broke her foot). She returned in '02 to complete the PCT, returned again in '03 to gather info for her PCT Handbook. Then did the CDT in '04. Excellent journaling style. It's too bad we never met her on the trail in 2002, as she seems like a wonderful person. Email

Simon and Liz - This intrepid couple hopped the pond to hike the PCT (they live in England). As a reporter for the BBC, Simon brought a keen eye, inquisitive nature and flair for writing, to the trail. We hooked up with them in Kennedy Meadows and missed them when they had to fly back to England, mid-trip. They returned and completed the trail on Oct 3rd. Read their journal (and about their new adventures). Email

Linda Jeffers "Gottago" - In 2001, Linda hiked the JMT. In 2002, at 55, Linda thru-hiked the PCT. We met up with her on the top of Forrester Pass, at a tad over 13,000 feet ASL. We had an interesting descent in the late afternoon sun, post-holing up to our hips and getting stuck in the snow. She's a strong hiker, an amazing person and wouldn't you know, she's hooked on thru-hiking! Read all her journals! Email
