the warner springs loop is to take advantage of its 
unique  positioning to facilitate a slack-pack. don't even *try* to tackle 
this section  of trail with a pack on- you'll never make it. most won't make it 
even  unencumbered, so you should definitely think real 
hard about whether or not  you have what it takes. otherwise, do the smart 
thing and just skip it in favor  of the road-walk- it's a vastly more safe 
option.

I am now thinking that I deserve a certificate from the American Long  
Distance Hiking Association - West if I complete the Warner Springs PCT  Loop.  I am 
beginning to think it is really something special to do as a  professional 
hard core hiker.
