[pct-l] Prior Reading

[E A]

How many thru-hikers have read/ studied all three of the PCT Guide books
before departing.  I mean do people actually remember the route?
Do you read it as you go, or do you have it all planned out.

Do you know that you will have to walk 110.6 in section A?  Beyond that I
mean to you have it mapped out that you know exactly how many miles you will
walk on day 3 or beyond that further day 93!!??

Or does are you able to modify your plan as you go?

How well do you need to know the trail before you depart.
