[pct-l] Late May Start

[Donna Saufley]

A late May start is not uncommon at all.  

The water situation down south has varied wildly in the past few years.
Natural water sources are primarily dependent upon rain and snowfall through
the winter into early spring replenishing the water tables.  We've already
had more rain this winter than in all of last winter/spring, and are hoping
the tables will be back up again this year.  

Your best bet is to keep an eye on AsABat's water reports on
www.pct.4jeffrey.net as departure date draws nearer.  It will give you the
absolute best water information available.

Hi Everyone...

I'm new to the list and looking for some advice.  I'm sure this is a common
question, but how lean is the water situation in S.Cal aroune the third week
in May?

I will be starting my thru a little later than desired due to other
obligations, and I'm just curious as to what other PCT veterans consider
exceptionally difficult sections due to little or no natural water sources
at this time of the season.

I appreciate your advice and feedback.

Ellie
