color:#1F497D'>I thought Billy Goat’s plan for last year had some interesting
reasoning behind it, based on his years of hiking the PCT. Campo
(ADZ) to Trail Pass and then out to Lone Pine. Move up to Old Station and
start hiking north to Canada. Then come back to Lone Pine and hike north, ending
at Old Station. It avoids the probability (but not the possibility) of
sustained bad weather in N WA and really minimizes snow and deep water
crossings in the Sierra. Of course, there are those for whom a continuous
non-segmented hike is the only way to go. I guess if you’ve done it
before, you’re more open to options. To each her/his own.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a question I've been meaning to ask. If for some reason I feel as though
I'm falling behind and don't want to be hiking into Canada in October, and I
skip up some, is there a good 200 mile section in Oregon to hike at that time
with easy logistics to come back to?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
