Fkt question
I know they are working on having the trail be a more " complete" route and trying to move the trail from 101 in sections and possibly moving the route inland or to the beach instead. I kinda have a fkt attempt in my head this year 😅 after completing the PCT last year 2023 , and the AT back in 2020. When is the proposed completed route set to begin work / completion? And would a fkt attempt on said new route be a brand new record seeing as it would be an entirely different route? If this is still a far out project... Be on the look out end of summer, early fall for a dreadhead moving thru the coast 🤙😏

Parking?
Planning to hike section 1 with my son in July. Our plan is to drive to Ft. Stevens State park from Spokane, camp there one night, and start the following morning.
Does anyone know if Ft. Stevens has long term parking available (1 week)? Or possibly another place to park nearby? I can't seem to find any info on this anywhere.
So happy someone created this sub!

Accessing FarOut map on Android?
I'm planning the OCT from late-May to late-June (and maybe the 100-mile CA section too) but can't seem to find the FarOut map on my phone. It appears on their website, just not on Android. Anyone else running into this?
