After a long year of being cooped up inside one Montana hiker is taking on the challenge of hiking all the way from Mexico to Canada.
Seeley Lake native Kyle Peltier (A.K.A. Harrison) started his Sunday morning at the border of Mexico. Then, in three and half to four months he will be crossing the border of Canada, all on foot. This hike goes all the way through California, Oregon, Washington, and it is 2,653 miles and it ends just over the border in Canada, Peltier said.
Its called the Pacific Crest Trail and hundreds of folks try it every year. Like Peltier said, it runs all the way up the west coast, border to border. But what would inspire someone to walk 2,000 miles?
Trend Analysis:
After a wild March, Americans are seeing some stability at the pump. This is thanks in part to a small decrease in demand, cheaper crude prices, and an increase in refinery utilization. Todayâs national average ($2.86) is one cent cheaper on the week, but more expensive on the month (+3 cents) and year (+$1.00). 40 statesâ averages either increased or decreased by a penny or had no change at all this week.
At 84%, refinery utilization is at its highest measurement this year. This strong utilization rate, as measured by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), helped contribute to the addition of 4 million barrels of gasoline, pushing overall supply levels to 234.5 million barrels for the week ending April 2.
