David Plotnikoff's Guide to Food and Lodging on the Pacific Crest Trail
July 21, 2007
Listen to this feature (How to listen)
When San Francisco journalist David Plotnikoff found himself in a classic midlife crisis, he decided the way to sort out his thinking was to embark on a trek that would take him from Mexico to Canada over the 2,650 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. He set out with what little food he could fit in a knapsack and a desire to separate "the essential from the trivial." Along the way, he experienced Zen moments with freeze-dried beef stew and the hiker's debate over road kill. It was a diet that could kill a goat.
Read David's article "Hungry Man" in the June/July 2007 issue of Saveur magazine. For his guide to food and lodging on the Pacific Crest Trail log on to www.emeraldlake.com/pctguide.
