[pct-l] Southbound

[Lindsey Sommer]

I feel your pain on the school thing... Im also looking at a 2014 hike, as a "congrats you have a masters degree" trip. My graduate program doesn't get done until mid-June making a normal northbound trip impossible. The only way I can think to do it would be to start somewhere north, get to Canada, and then fly back down (with all the money I have sitting around from my grad school salary! Hrmm...) and do Southern California after. Obviously a ton of issues come up with that even (water, snow in the mountains down here).

Southbound trip is an interesting way to deal with school thing! Will be curious what people think about that.

Cheers,
Lindsey
