[pct-l] Safety in numbers or Solo?

[Steel-Eye]

Good morning, Molly,



As others have said, you will encounter many hikers on the trail so you 
won't have to find a kindred spirit prior to your trip, particularly if you 
start with the ADZPCTKO bunch in late April.  As for the safety aspect, 
since I'm a grizzled old guy we probably don't share the same concerns but 
some of my general views can be read at:

Enjoy your trip,



 Steel-Eye
