I have to laugh here, sorry. First of all, I don't think there's been  
a PCT hiker yet who has hiked every step of the trail. With snow and  
fire detours it's not likely you'll get an accurate mapping of the  
trail to begin with. And even if you get a good reading of the path  
that YOU took, your chances of doing it again the same way are pretty  
low considering there will be new fire detours, fire detours lifted  
and new snow conditions next time you go. But enjoy your project. I  
know it is satisfying to get the line that you walked marked on a map.
