I started on 2000 during the first week of June and ran into the very rear
end of the pack at hwy 58 650 miles north. Mileage was 25 per day.

Hello,
I plan on averaging 30 miles per day for this year's PCT thru-hike. Any
thoughts on leaving early May versus leaving at the kickoff to allow for
more snow melt in the San Jacintos and the Sierras? I'm a little concerned
about reaching Kennedy Meadows too early if I leave from the kickoff.
Barring any major storms between now and then, what do you think the
snowpack will be like at Forrester Pass in late May/early June? Any input
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
