[pct-l] Mom and 10 year old son section hiking

[Mary Coucoules]

My son and I (both avid backpacker) will be section hiking a 900 mile
section of the PCT 2013 summer. Since we won't be able to start until June
12th I thought Kennedy Meadows might be a good starting point. Any thoughts
on that? Would there be a better place to start? I figured any place further
south might be to hot. We have 2 1/2 months to complete.

Also I am interested in hearing from other who have hike the PCT with the
similar age especially regarding food options palatable for a 10 year old,
number of hours per day of hiking and how you handled getting to the
resupply locations. How often you had a zero day etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
