[pct-l] what's the best 250 mile section?

[Deems]

My personal favorite 250 miles is the JMT+Sierra.  I loved hiking Oregon 
from Crater Lake to Mt Hood. However, Billy Goat's favorite section is 
Castle Crags to Seiad Valley. He spent a month on it unsupported a few years 
back. He did it by carrying two packs, moving each one forward, then hiking 
back for the other and carrying it forward covering about 5 miles or so each 
day. He spent a month on his favorite section, hiking it his way. The 
Marbles, Russians and Trinities are my backyard, I live there.

I'd recommend the 220 miles from Castle Crags to Calahans thru the Trinity 
Alps and Marble Mtns. It is moderate elevation and gorgeous scenery; as you 
are going in a half circle around        magnificent Mt Shasta. Etna and 
Seiad Valley are both old style, cool re-supplies. coming into Seiad Valley 
3 years ago we saw a mother bear and cub and an eagle near the Klamath 
River.


Happy trails,
