[pct-l] First PCT Segment

[Phil Baily]

I walked that piece south-to-north in 2005. Photos ae available at 
www.bailyweb.com  along with some discussion of my camping spots (and thus 
time duration). It was my feeling, at the time, that the 5 miles north of 
Highway 35 going to Timberline Lodge were more interesting/prettier, than 
the miles immediately south of there. (I still have not walked north of 
Timberline Lodge, so Section G photos are not yet posted.) I would suggest 
starting at Timberline Lodge. Also, showers were available at Olallie Lake 
but only prior to 6 PM, and, at 6:10 PM, the next morning was booked until 
11 AM. Feel free to comtact me offline if you have any specific questions 
about the trail or camping or water. I will try to remember. As I recall 
there were several places where I passed thru, or very close to, well 
populated drive-in or boat-in campgrounds.
