[pct-l] Late Start 2014

[Matt Signore]

If you want to do the entire PCT travelling to remote areas 2-3 times is
more expensive for one.  Secondly, if you are trying hike the PCT after
college, and before your career starts it makes sense for those people as
well.  Some people want to answer a personal question whether they can hike
from Mexico to Canada.  Everyone has their own dreams and reasons.
