[pct-l] Time

[Melanie Clarke]

Dear Mike,

How much hiking have you done?  Maybe just take 3 weeks off work and do a
section of the PCT.  Or just take 2 weeks (or less) and do the JMT.  This
will give you an idea if this is for you and how fast you want to walk off
the miles.

I wouldn't quit my job until after I've done a couple of section hikes and
base my decision on a little more experience.
