I hope everyone is having a great summer outside. A few months ago I posted a link to my JMT coffee mug, and after finishing summer semester of school I’m back with a new trail, the PCT! I’ve broken the trail into 5 sections across 5 mugs. WA and OR were easy, they each got their own mug, but CA was tough, I ended up with 3 mugs for CA (below Whitney, Whitney to below Lassen, and the rest of CA. I’m sure it could be broken up differently, but it worked for the POIs I wanted to label on each mug. I also stuck with labeling mostly natural features, as opposed to labeling trail junctions or highways – just personal preference.
These took me way more time that I thought, so I hope you think they’re cool. I’ll post a 10% off link in the comment below if you like them enough to buy one.
Also let me know if you’d be interested in a specific trail. I was originally thinking the AT and CDT next, but maybe shorter trails that can all fit on one mug would be more fun (both to make and to buy). I was thinking the Wonderland Trail maybe?
Shameless bump in case anyone is interested in a mug. Fall semester has been killer, so the JMT mug and the PCT are the only ones I’ve completed. I am hoping to get through a couple more over Christmas break, but I don’t want to make any promises yet. Link in post #2 should be good through the end of the year. Cheers!
