From July 11, 2024 to July 20, 2024, I went on a life-changing trip on the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2650 mile long trail from Mexico to Canda. Over the course of a week, I hiked 30 miles alongside 29 teenage hackers from 9 different countries and 15 states! This event was organized by Hack Club, community of over 34,000 teenage makers and creators! This adventure followed the month long PCB hackathon, where people worked together to design printed circuit boards to use on the hike, like walkie talkies and flashlights. The Trail was an adventure of a lifetime. Read on and enjoy!

SURVIVAL: hiking and camping in the woods, and bear box challenges.
REVIVAL: finally seeing civilization again, exploring Reno, and green baby heads.
THRIVAL: a look back at the Trail magic.
THE BOOK: details about a handmade physical book I made about this journey!
