[pct-l] Day hikes with others

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

Biz,
Placerville's not all that close to the PCT if day hiking is what you  
are wanting to do. You might have better luck looking for your local  
Sierra Club and hiking with them. You do not have to be a member to  
join a Sierra Club hike.

You might consider ordering the guide book from the pcta.org web site  
for the part of the Pacific Crest Trail closest to you. I think that  
would be the Northern California book. You could use the book to  
learn more about the trail and find sections of it you would like to  
do. There is also a book called Day Hikes on the Pacific Crest Trail  
that you might also like.

Once in a while someone posts that they are doing a section of the  
trail and looking for partners. So keep an eye open or else plan to  
hike a section yourself and seek partners to come with you.

Also, since you are sort of near Lake Tahoe, you might find planned  
hikes in that area, including on the PCT. There are lots of trails in  
the Lake Tahoe area.

Good luck,
Diane
