[pct-l] Best months to hike OR and WA PCT

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I hiked Oregon/Washington in July/August. As a newbie tourist I  
learned that "obnoxious" is a kind word for the horror I experienced.  
So glad I took a lot of pictures through Oregon because I saw nothing  
through my head net as I ran for my life.
