Retch The Grate
Full time employment: Posting here.
I retired on a Friday. Flew to San Diego on Saturday. Started hiking the Pacific Crest Trail on Sunday. It was a celebration into a new phase of life.
Cost was about $2000 for all my backpacking gear. But that wasn’t much of a factor as it was spent while I was still working.
I highly recommend some kind of splurge or doing something of significance to mark your transition. Of course, to each his own.
hiking the PCT is one of the ideas I have for retirement! Not super compatible with my doggo unfortunately given the time commitment. How was the experience?
