[pct-l] Mid Life Crisis- Tell me where to go

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Section A is about 100 miles. Not a lot of trees but it's really  
beautiful.
Someone mentioned Agua Dulce to Tehachapi. Not a lot of trees there.
You could also go north from Tehachapi but it's not the nicest  
section. Not a lot of trees.
I guess because of the dog section B is out. That has some trees.
Section C near Big Bear has some trees and some desert. Perhaps this  
is your best bet. It's really a lovely section of the trail. Not sure  
how much of it you'd have to do to make it an even 100 miles, but you  
can figure that out.
