[pct-l] JMT thru hiking

[Scott Davis]

My 18 yo son and I, along with another father and 20 year old daughter are
planning to hike the entire JMT southbound beginning late July 2009. As our
time available is limited, what is the shortest reasonable number of days to
hike the entire trail? We are planning to hike with packs weighing 25 lbs
maximum and are all in excellent, athletic condition.  We are hoping to
complete the trail in 8-10 days with 1 pick-up at Muir Trail Ranch.  Any
thoughts/recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
