[pct-l] Desert Night hiking

[Nathaniel Morse]

Just the Thru-hiking season. I've heard different starting dates from
different people. but anywhere in late april to may, to as late as June (If
you're fast or crazy) :)

 Isn't about 700 miles, desert?  And I guess weather and temp depends on the
year...
