[pct-l] Suggestions for flip flop

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I'll preface this with the warning that I have zero experience on the  
subject of northern California PCT in the fall.

My mom lives near Chester and raves about the fall weather there. She  
gets a few hikers mopping up or sectioning in the fall. It would be  
my vote to save 400 miles of Nor Cal for the end. Which 400 miles, I  
suppose, would be up to you.
