Good morning to you all. I'm coming to you all hat in hand as Reddit has proved to me time and again about the knowledge and decency of people.

Here's my story and my situation. I've met the woman of my dreams, my sun and my moon. After a very quick whirlwind romance, and lots of talk we've decided we're going to make it work while she heads West to live one of her dreams to hike the PCT. She leaves May 2nd, I couldn't be more excited for her.

She's invited me to come join them for a few days along the trail, so that we can see each other and I can enjoy a little trail time. So this is where that knowledge comes in. Are there spots where I can join hike for 4-5 days and get back to civilization? What should I do to train my body? What should I bring for myself? What should I bring that would be an awesome treat after X amount of time on the trail. And would any of you help me get back to civilization at the end of my short hike?

I'm asking a lot I'm sure, but when you know that this person is the one that you want to spend your life with what wouldn't you do.

Help me reddit, you're my only hope.
