[pct-l] Pacific Coast Trail

[Steel-Eye]

Good morning, Piper,

The best source of information of which I'm aware concerning the "American 
West Coast Trail" -- AKA the "Pacific Coast Trail" -- is Tha Wookie's 
TrailJournal:  http://www.trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?id=58508 and his 
associated website:  http://www.thawookie.com/   He and his companion, 
Island Momma, hiked the coast southbound in 2004.  A couple of years ago 
Nate made an excellent presentation of his trip at the annual gathering of 
American Long Distance Hiking Association - West (ALDHA-West) 
http://www.aldhawest.org/ -- you are a member, aren't you?


I don't have any specific directions, but in general just keep one foot dry 
and the other foot wet.
