[pct-l] Hiking section A in July

[Madmxe at aol.com]

I live in North San Diego and hike Anza Borrego a lot.  But not in July.  
Prepare for 100 degrees! 
 


I'd  bet dollars to navy beans that it will be very hot and very dry. 
You'll need  to carry a lot of water at times, which translates to a very heavy 
pack in  high heat conditions. Some people would like that! Some  wouldn't.

My wife and I are interested in section hiking starting with  Section A in
early July. She is a teacher so that's as early as we can  go.

Is this a good idea? given temperature and water  resources?

We have done some backpacking before, notably the West Coast  Trail on
Vancouver Island (which does not have water supply  issues).

Thanks,
Gerry
