> Hi All, 
> 
> The PCTSection started out as a group of the San Diego 
> Chapter of the Sierra Club for people who wanted to 
> section-hike the PCT. Several years ago we switched to 
> being a Yahoo group for faster coordination of outings. Our 
> focus is on section hiking and many of our members have 
> hiked major portions of the trail and have information to 
> share about how they did it. Others are looking for more 
> information about sections they haven’t hiked yet. We would 
> enjoy having you join us. 
> 
> Just a reminder that on Thursday, October 12th at 6 pm we 
> are holding a PACIFIC CREST TRAIL SECTION potluck and 
> meeting in the San Diego Area. This is a chance to meet 
> other people who are interested in hiking the PCT. Bring 
> food to share (potluck supper), pictures of past trips, and 
> ideas about PCT trips that you would like to do in the 
> coming year. 
> 
> Currently I am trying to locate a video projector so we can 
> show a DVD slides of the trip that Jan Craven and Charlie 
> Jones took last summer. Perhaps others have pictures on CDs 
> or DVDs. Do any of you have a projector and laptop that you 
> can bring for this purpose? 
> 
> We will also have a panel discussion by hikers who have 
> covered significant segments of the PCT. If you have hiked 
> the whole trail or several hundred miles of it and would 
> like to share your insights, please let me know you can 
> participate in this.
