Joe,
Lee
Just sent both of you an Invite to my PCT Section Hike email group. I could
really use some Expert participation.
ANYONE else doing section hikes in Oregon and Washington are encouraged to
join also. If you visit the site,
_http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pct_section_hikes_OR-WA_USA/_
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pct_section_hikes_OR-WA_USA/) I would greatly appreciate it!!
I have Diabetes and other age enhanced disabilities and I can only do
section hikes. I am 58, and I am greatly encouraged by those older than me that
make this hike from Mexico to Canada!! If you have any specific input
regarding hiking with diabetes, I would appreciate it. My hope is that it will
help me lose weight, and lower my blood sugars naturally.
I plan on hiking two 50 milers; Hwy 20 to Olallie Lake, and also Willamette
Pass to Elk Lake Resort. Any section specific input would be greatly
appreciated as well!!!!
Thanks!

Also get some practice hiking oIver snow. I got my butt kicked up there
last weekend, but I learned while undergoing said butt-kicking. If I were to
go back up there to the same spot under the same conditions, I believe I
could handle it--same with San Jacinto and Sierra snows (additional snow
skills required, of course).
In fact, get experience hiking under unfamiliar conditions, ESPECIALLY
ones that may make you twitch: twitchy stream crossings; long, hot waterless
stretches; big grades up or down; rain; storms and threat of storms.
