[pct-l] Mid May starting at mile marker 1, Campo

[imscotty at aol.com]

Hey Philip, I will also be starting at Campo on May 16th on a LASH (Long Ass Section Hike).  I hope to see you there.  I plan on camping out at the Stone Museum the night before and walking to the monument in time for the sunrise.  If you are arriving later in the day, no worries, I am pretty sure you will catch up to me :)


I am pretty sure we will not be alone.  The PCTA has booked 50 permits per day from Campo until June 3rd!


Yah, the desert will be hotter and dryer, the water caches may be used up and the Trail Angels fewer and farther between, but we will adapt.  If you stick to your knitting and not take too many zeros my guess is you will catch up to some of the early starters by the time you get through the Sierras.


Enjoy yourself and I hope to see you there.


Scotty

In a heavy snow year, I started in mid June.

Everyone's hike is unique. You will have great times, you will have
horrible times. Go with the flow and have fune.
