[pct-l] How late can one start the PCT

[Kent Spring]

Hi Todd -

There has been some great comments on how you might do this.  My suggestion is to just start at Aqua Dulce, or maybe Wrightwood.  Aqua Dulce is very easy to get to from LA.  Then hike north.  When you get to Canada, you flip back to Aqua Dulce and hike SOBO to Campos.
