[pct-l] Start thru in March.

[Ned Tibbits]

Joe,

Do not be overly concerned about starting early. I started my PCT hike on 
March 14 and my CDT hike on March 1. I had some snow to deal with, but it 
was hard and consolidated making for easy walking.

Mountain Education helps hikers train for snow because its going to be there 
anyway...

Seaglass and I would like to start north from Mexico in March. Are there
any sites showing historical climate data for the first 700 miles or so?
Temperature and snow are our concerns. Starting early we may avoid the
desert heat. Daily mileage will be 10-15 so we aren't to concerned about
reaching the Sierras before much of the snow has melted. Also, what about
water? Are streams flowing that early? Hope to see you at ADZPCTKO. Thank
you, Hawk.
