Would starting a week or two early mean more
> cold nights? Does a couple weeks make much of a difference down there?

Never can tell.
2004 Laguna was a little cold and very windy the day before the Kick Off.
Other than that it was very hot daytime before and after the Kick Off.
In 2005 I finished the first 150 miles a week before the Kick Off. Laguna
was extremely cold, very thick frost that didn't melt til almost noon, and
there was about a 25mph wind. At Lake Morena I had sheets of ice on my
tent. Lucky 5 was cold but OK in early April. Over night north of
Chihuahua Valley Road cool but just fine in March. 3 or 4 days after the
Kick Off was a huge cold downpour.
2006 Before the Kick Off Palms to Pines to Scissors Crossing were very
mild. Not hot, not cold...
I like hiking A section SOBO. I think going south gives me an illusion of
hiking downhill.
