My Urban name is Jerry. My Trail Name is CrampPa. I am a chronologically gifted 69 year old Grandpa from Minnesota. I am coming off the IR (Injured Reserve) List and am intending to pick up the PCT at mile 1155 (Donners Pass) where the fires of 2024 and my chronic knee injury finished my hike last year. I will be starting out in late June, and am so grateful that my partial knee replacement and rehab has progressed to allow me to pick up where I left off and continue nothward to Canada. Thank God for the extra innings!!!!!! I'm really looking forward to getting back onto the trail. This is a bucket list dream of my 17 year old self that my wife is graciously supporting. Needless to say; I'm stoked! Thanks for following my Blog and maybe you have a lingering bucket list item it's time to consider pursuing......
