> Hi,
> 
> My wife and I have put in about 100 of work to create a website to help new
> long-distance hikers plan their PCT thru-hikes. We put in a lot of time and
> energy to make sure it's not just another "how *I* hiked *my* hike"
> website. We try to consolidate all the PCT thru-hike planning info on the
> web, improve it where we can, and make it free and easy to access by
> everyone. That way we encourage you to Hike Your Own Hike. This is our way
> of giving back to the PCT community.
> 
> So check us out at: www.PlanYourHike.com <http://www.planyourhike.com/>
> 
> We have all the usual information on permits, resupply strategies, gear
> selection, etc... but we also some awesome unique stuff for you.
> 
> A few things unique to our site that we think you'll like:
> 
> 1) A very detailed page for Southbound thru-hikers. I myself was a
> southbounder, and that helped in putting together the southbounder's
> page<http://www.planyourhike.com/planning/southbound.html>.
> 
> 
> 2) Information on 98
> resupply<http://www.planyourhike.com/planning/resupplypoints.html#pctrp>points
> along the PCT. This took about 30 hours to put together. We're sure
> it is - by far - the most complete list of PCT resupply points available
> anywhere. We intend to add to it and keep it updated as time goes by.
> 
> 3) Waypoints for Trail
> Angels<http://www.planyourhike.com/maps/gps.html#angels>.
> We have waypoints for every road crossing, resupply point, and all the other
> vehicle-accessible points-of-interest along the PCT. The file comes in
> several different formats that you can load into your TomTom, Garmin, or
> Magellan vehicle-navigation system. Freaking awesome.
> 
> 4) The PCT Library <http://www.planyourhike.com/media/index.html> : movies,
> podcasts, books, articles, etc relevant to thru-hiking the Pacific Crest
> Trail. Some of which you can watch online.
> 
> 5) A very thorough links page <http://www.planyourhike.com/links/index.html>.
> We consolidated all the (working) links from *all* the PCT-related sites we
> could find and put in them in one place. Its helpful when doing research
> for your hike.
> 
> 6) Advertising: my wife and I live in Portland and intend to use any ad
> revenue generated by the website to provide awesome trail magic for
> thru-hikers in Northern Oregon and Southern Washington! We don't for sure
> if it'll work (since we've never hosted any advertising before), but we're
> hopin' so!
> 
> Anyway, that's enough shameless self-promotion. We hope our hard work will
> eventually win us a place amongst all the other great thru-hike planning
> websites.
> 
> Enjoy!
> 
> Sincerely,
