But finally last summer I had my chance to do a real section on it. I had wanted to hike from Stevens Pass (Hwy 2) to Snoqualmie Pass (I-90) with friends for a long time, but it wasn&#8217;t easy to get vacation time together. And other trips interrupted us over the years. One year it was The Wonderland Trail, another year found me in the midst of buying a house and losing a lot of time for hiking. Life has that way of interrupting plans and changing your life&#8217;s course. But finally we&#8217;d gotten all laid out, and it happened. And it totally changed my view on life, yet again. It wasn&#8217;t even a long section, just under 80 miles, but it wowed me. We spent those days exploring and slogging, my heart singing whenever we crested a ridge and got views.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Speaking of cooking, Russ at Trailcraft <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hikingideas.com\/blogs\/2007\/2\/9\/Quesadillas+on+the+trail.aspx\">profiles an interesting camping cookbook. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarah at Freezerbag Cooking offers another of her excellent not-about-cooking posts, this one on the siren song of the Pacific Crest Trail, of which she&#8217;s hiked a few sections: Over the past years I started piecing trips out when I&hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/2007\/02\/09\/hooked-on-the-pct\/\">Read the whole thing<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[153,107],"tags":[150,512],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/989"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/989\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
