HoboKitten: February 2014
http://bobcat-tracks.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Joshua "Bobcat" Stacy. Thursday, February 20, 2014. The Frozen Narrows of Henry Coe State Park, photo courtesy of John Abela. January 24-26: GGG at Henry Coe State Park. I had been following for quite some time. John joined us as we descended into the canyon. Upon arrival in The Narrows, we found the conditions just as Shroomer had reported; a gorgeous frozen creek that was thick enough to walk on. 4-6 inches deep in parts, The Narrows were a shadowy sliver of winter air. I've wanted to...

HoboKitten: October 2014
http://bobcat-tracks.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Joshua "Bobcat" Stacy. Wednesday, October 15, 2014. Rim to Rim to Rim of the Grand Canyon. April 13, 2014. The moment I read Liz "Snorkel" Thomas. Article Taking trail back from the runners: Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim. To Siesta's home in Salt Lake City. From there we drove down to the Grand Canyon. The shuffle back to the river seemed to go by quickly, but the last climb back to the south rim, that's where I found out how much gas was left in the tank. I didn't know what time goals...

HoboKitten: Mount Diablo: "Just the Right Amount of Banged Up."
http://bobcat-tracks.blogspot.com/2014/03/mount-diablo-just-right-amount-of.html
The Adventures of Joshua "Bobcat" Stacy. Sunday, March 2, 2014. Mount Diablo: "Just the Right Amount of Banged Up.". I'd heard about Mt. Diablo for years but for some reason the hike never happened. Finally, after some encouragement from my friend Scott "Shroomer" Williams, I made the trip up north to hike this legendary peak. The Main Summit of Mt. Diablo. This was a great excuse for some cross-country exploration. I started climbing up to the ridge and scrambled up some loose scree. The ridge w...I was...

The Adventures of Joshua "Bobcat" Stacy. Thursday, December 26, 2013. Why would anyone want to walk 184.5 miles on a flat dirt road? Ingredients for Meaningful Challenge and Adventure. Walking along the LA Aqueduct. Photo Courtesy of Jane Boer. When I wrote about my San Francisco Urban Thru-Hike. Last June, I opened with the question "why would you take on this hike?

HoboKitten: PCT Southbound Thru-Hike Gear List
http://bobcat-tracks.blogspot.com/2013/11/pct-southbound-thru-hike-gear-list.html
The Adventures of Joshua "Bobcat" Stacy. Friday, November 29, 2013. PCT Southbound Thru-Hike Gear List. Of course, the warmer climate of the south had something to do with this drop in weight but it wasn't the biggest factor. My abilities to thermoregulate, choose warm dry campsites, read the weather, navigate, manage water and confront my fears have all improved greatly. This knowledge cuts weight and increases the amount of joy experienced on long hikes. Are strong; the rewards are timeless and powerful.

HoboKitten: July 2013
http://bobcat-tracks.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Joshua "Bobcat" Stacy. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Slowly, I climbed my way back up the slope and took a seat atop the bank. "That was scary", I thought and took a deep breath. Then I noticed, next to my self-arresting slide were a series of bear tracks. The bear had just clawed it's way right up this vertical slope. The day before I had seen cougar tracks going down a similarly precipitous route. It was a tiring afternoon, but all in all it went quite well. I made it to the border, saw...
