[pct-l] The Desert

[Paul Robison]

i gotta agree,  it is a lot less of an extreme dessert than i expected in just 
about all places.
i was over-prepared last year for harsh endless walks on sand dunes in the 
dreaded 'dessert' section.  and; actually it was quite enjoyable in the end.

but it's still hugely different form the northwest, or the AT.

I have lived in So Cal all my life so most of my hiking experience has been

through on the PCT in So Cal is desert, but then hardly anybody will agree
with me so I don't bother trying to convince anybody anymore.

Hey, for those of us who live in the Pacific Northwest, any place without
moss and ferns is desert.  End of discussion.  :-)
