Basmati here...<br><br>I am looking at starting a little later-around the 30th of June from Waterton. I am only hiking through to Yellowstone this year so can afford to start a little later to miss the snow and swat a few more mosquitos. <br><br> Anybody else looking at hiking through the bear zone about this time this coming summer? <br><br>Like most hikers, I am quite flexible, but my ride to Glacier isn't until June 28th.<br><br>Basmati (PCT 03,04,05, 06)<br><br><br><br><b><i>Rod Belshee <rbelshee@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> I'm starting about the same time.
