[pct-l] Columbia River to border...

[JOHN F PATTERSON]

I am considering hiking Columbia R. to the border this summer. Naturally wanting 
to get out as early as possible. Have done most of PCT to that location, 
heretofore. Plus I have through hiked the AT. I am some older. Am considering 
pushing the time line. Start even early July. Possible? If I have self arrest 
skill? Companion? You tell me. Aware of 2011 snow pack. Not an idle request. 
Serious responses.
