[pct-l] How much of (calif) section A-F is do'able in January

[Prapanna Smith]

Hey Greg,

I work in education, so to do a thru-hike I would have to miss the end  
of a school
year and the beginning of the next school year.  It's not really not  
doable for a school
principal.

So I have the same problem. I plan to deal with it by hiking the  
second half of the
PCT in June-August of  2011, then hike the first (Southern) half in  
April-June 2012.
This way I will still complete the hike within a year's time.
