[pct-l] Bringing friends to hike part of the trail - THANKS for the responses!

[Paul Mitchell]

Thanks for all the feedback!

I think we're going to start early - in mid April!  I like the idea of being
able to take our time, but then at kick-off time already having 110 miles of
the trial completed.  Another great advantage of starting mid-April is that
my friends will be getting their mid-month paycheque right at the start of
their hike, which'll make the expenses much easier for them.  :-)

Of course, that means I'm hiking in just over three months!  EEEEEEEEEEK!!!!
I'd better start looking for a pair of shoes ... and a backpack, and some
nuts again.

As excited as I am about being on the trail again this year, I am even more
excited about this experience for these two friends.  It'll be their first
ever real hike, and these sorts of experiences can be life changing, as you
know!

Cheers and thanks again for the responses.
Paul
