[pct-l] Trying to plan transportation in Norcal

[John Abela]

Oh... your giving up just when you hit my neck of the woods...

Well, Redding is 50 miles south of Castella... it has the largest
airport around here.

I live over in Eureka (about 200 miles from Old Station) and if need
be I could drive over and pick you up in Castella and drive you back
down to Old Stations.

I was planning on doing a thru-hike of a new trail (400 miles) just
being developed here in NorCal but weather up in the Marble Mountains
/ Trinities has pushed that back.
