<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hiked from Mex > Etna this year and hope to
finish next year (had to get off due to foot pain). I was hoping to leave
northbound from Etna on June 15 or thereabouts. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am totally unfamiliar with weather/snow
conditions for this time of year in OR/WA. Is it unrealistic to leave at
this time? Will I be slogging through snow? Those on the list more
familiar with conditions at this time of year, please weigh in. I expect
to hit the OR/WA border around July 15, and Canadian border by mid-August.
Thanks for your help,</FONT></DIV>
