[pct-l] Starting date NOBO from Ashland, Colorado

[Paul Bodnar]

I think mid July should be fine.  Most of the thru-hikers cross that point between July 25 and August 8.  Here is a link http://hikethru.com/about-the-pct/pct-hiker-migration/2010%20PCT%20Migration.pdf showing where hikers are during different times of the year.  If you take it easy and not hike too fast you should see a lot of thru-hikers in Northern Oregon and Washington.
 
Good luck and I hope to see you on the trail.
