[pct-l] A dilemma opinions/thoughts may be helpful - august locked in

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I agree to keep going, but the first section of Washington is the  
best section. That's the Mt. Adams and Goat Rocks section. I  
considered Goat Rocks the absolute highlight of the entire trail.  
Exhilarating and absolutely breathtaking views and beauty. Indian  
Heaven wilderness was a little boring, but that glacier on Mt. Adams.  
Wow!
