[pct-l] Good NoBO starting point for 6/1 start date?

[Cosmic Cat]

I would start at the border because it is cool and skip a few sections.
D - because much of it is closed
E - the Mojave

You will still be behind the pack though, but if you are a strong hiker you
will catch up. Otherwise,  consider skipping section F to Kennedy Meadows.
Past there, there aren't many sections worth skipping.

Hey List!

So assuming a few more things work-out I will be hitting the trail this year
but with a late start. I am seeking advise on where to start NOBO around
6/1. I am thinking of starting at section D (HWY 15 near Cajon)

My thinking is:

- get out of So Cal desert before it gets too hot, join up with the tail end
of the herd, but bag most of the higher elevations in socal in case I decide
to finish So Cal in the late fall (although I guess I would need to start
closer to Big Bear to accomplish this).

- I have family in LA willing to give me rides so skipping/flipping around
so-cal sections would be easy for me.

- at this point I am not considering SOBO - I want to meet people.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Darren
