I'm a student at Art Center - and I am trying to develop a new wearable product for thru-hikers on the PCT. In order to create a better product, it would be great to get insight directly from someone who's gone through the trail themselves - preferably someone who's walked it Northbound starting around this time of year. Pretty much, i'd like to interview you or to put it more casually, talk, converse - about your adventures and if you're willing to meet in person - know that I have no car and would therefore prefer to meet in Pasadena (old town? anywhere along the metro?) in which case I will take you out to lunch or pay for your gas. Otherwise, I would also be fine with just emailing you questions. Either way, the more info I can get the better! :D
