[pct-l] Sections A & B in the Fall?

[Ted Glick]

Hi Folks,

Total novice here...  I'm thinking about doing some local (Oregon)
shake-down trips this summer to learn and prepare, and then start my PCT
section hiking by doing the first part of the trail (sections A and B) in
the fall.  Maybe late September-ish?

Just curious, since I've never seen any non-Spring start date discussions,
is this a bad idea?  Will I have problems finding water, or with anything
else that I'm failing to consider as a dumb newbie?

Any advice is appreciated.  Many thanks and Happy Holidays.

Ted
