[pct-l] Additional Snow Course dates in April??

[Eric]

Ned and Karen,

My partner and I planned on attending the KO before starting the hike.  I
had planned to stay with some family in SoCal before heading off, but to be
able to take a snow course would be awesome.  I probably need to at least
stop by my family's place in SoCal as I planned on shipping some items there
that you can't take on the plane (knife, bear spray, etc.)  Thanks for the
info, I'll discuss this with my partner and get back to you.

Regards,
Eric

Hey, Eric!

Typically Courses in the month of April are filled with PCT thru hikers who
are going to start their hikes right after the snow training, so, if that is
where you need a ride to, it can be arranged prior to the Course through the
trip's group emailings. Is that where you need a ride to?
