[pct-l] Too much spare time - part 2

[patti kulesz]

haha I know but it gives me piece of mind and also helps me to know what's where in the towns etc. So I can plan ahead for that too! I always do it...so it's nothing new. I also do it right before bed, so it helps me to get tired when I'm not. All I do is highlight spots that may have good camp, or water, or views...whatever.  I didn't even buy the first book b/c I've already done alot of that section. It's also just b/c I am very excited and can't wait to start so I'm doing it mentally in the book right now...lol

May I respectfully suggest that planing in that much detail is not a
good use of your time. I promise you, all of that planning will fall
apart by your second day on the trail. You will rest wherever you are
when you are tired and there is sufficient shade. You will camp wherever
you are at the end of the day and there is a large enough fairly flat spot.
