[pct-l] new resources for section and day hikers

[David Hough reading PCT-L]

For through hikers the big issue is the resupply.    For section hikers,
it's the car shuttle.

Today I started reorganizing my website pcnst.oakapple.net to incorporate
my next project, supplemental information for the Semb books 
to update them, and to add suggested
backpacking trips to fill in the gaps that can't be dayhiked.     

For those of you that weren't prescient enough to buy the Semb books when
they were in print 15 years ago, you should know that they provide detailed
driving instructions for all the back roads that you need to know about
to dayhike ALL the dayhikable PCT, and almost all the information is still
good.      That's what I'm looking for in newer books.

Step one for my website
was cleaning out dead links including the PCTA store, which has a new
URL, and checking that out I found that there are some new books published
by the Mountaineers that might render my whole project unnecessary.
Maybe everybody else knows about these, but they were news to me:

https://shop.pcta.org/publications/books/hiking-the-pacific-crest-trail-washington-section-hiking-from-the-columbia-river-to-manning-park

https://shop.pcta.org/publications/books/hiking-the-pacific-crest-trail-oregon-section-hiking-from-donomore-pass-to-bridge-of-the-gods

The URL's are self-explanatory.    I will
see if they would have sufficed when I needed them, 
in lieu of the Semb books.    But they seem to be out of stock at the
PCTA store.

The Mountaineers own web site implies that the series will eventually cover
California too.    The Washington volume was published in September
and the Oregon volume is currently out of stock there too.

The PCTA store also has, from March 2014,

https://shop.pcta.org/publications/books/day-hikes-and-overnights-on-the-pacific-crest-trail-southern-california-from-the-mexican-border-to-los-angeles-county-marlise-kast-myers

I can't tell if it covers all of Southern California up to LA county
or just parts.

By the way, the "Day & Section Hikes" series published by Wilderness Press
several years ago is NOT a substitute for the Semb books - they don't cover
the whole dayhikable trail, just highlights.
