[pct-l] split hiking day

[Marion Davison]

I learned the split hiking day method on my trek at Philmont Scout Ranch 
in '95.  Philmont is located in NE New Mexico in hot dry mountain 
terrain.  Water is so scarce that swimming and wading are prohibited to 
keep all water supplies pristene.  We hiked by the recommended 
schedule--rise early and hike until noon, stopping at a water supply.  
Cook your hot meal in the middle of the day, and rest until 4.  Then 
resume hiking and eat your lunch while hiking along the trail, for 
dinner, making camp at dusk.
