[pct-l] Campsites and Snow Pack

[Jeffrey Olson]

Imagine you've hiked 18 miles on your 18th day of hiking.  You're an 
hour from dark and you're ready to stop.  You look down at your plan and 
see you're supposed to be camping at X spring on day 21.  You laugh.  
You begin looking for a flat spot to throw down your tent, hopefully not 
in the middle of the trail.

I've done a bunch of four to eight week section hikes and I've learned 
not even to think about planning where I"m going to camp beyond the 
first or second day.  Water - yes, camping not so much.

hunker down...
