[pct-l] 2010 Hiker Migration Estimated

[dsaufley]

I noticed that you gave five days between Wrightwood and Agua Dulce.  I'm
curious about this . . . since most of that section is closed and the
outcome pending, much depends on what the alternate turns out to be.  If the
alternate is trail/dirt road, I'd guess more hikers will take it. But if the
alternate winds up being a monster road walk, my sense is that the vast
majority of hikers will hitch around it by one means or another, shortening
that window of five days down to one. And there's always the unknown
variables of fires or storms, which can throw a monkey wrench into the
forecasting machine.   

I've got my popcorn ready and am looking forward to the show, one way or
another. Bring it on!

I just posted the estimated thru-hiker migration for the 2010 season.  I
included the town name along with the expected beginning and ending wave
dates.  Again, these predictions are just estimates and may not reflect the
actual migration.  The above average High Sierra snow pack could slow down
hikers and decrease the accuracy of these estimates.

P.S. Hiker Tip #01  Start wearing the shoes/boots you expect to thru-hike
in.  Make sure the fit isn't too tight and you don't develop blisters. The
more you walk around the better, wear them walking to the store, walking the
dog or cat, or on a practice hike.  If problems persist, adjust socks/liners
first and if that doesn't help consider new shoes/boots.  Experiment around
and have fun...
