[pct-l] Worst parts of the trail and ways to get though

[David Thibault]

I can't think of a worst part.  I had a tough day in Washington after about
4 straight days of rain and cold but that part of the trail would have been
truely wonderful in drier weather.

I really liked each and all of the eco-systems that the PCT traversed from
desert to high alpine.

Now that I think it through, I'd say the 6 mile road walk into Seiad Valley
was the worst part - but I am not fond of walking pavement.  Of course once
you see the river that forces you to do the roadwalk it is easier to take.
So in the whole of the trail I found 6 miles that wasn't great.  I just
figured it out and that amounts to 0.2 percent of the trail -- or about 2
hours of it.
