[pct-l] Training hikes

[David Tamblyn]

Hey,

Thinking about 2014 pct and looking for company this summer in the central Sierras for some training overnights or section hikes (pct, or other). Would like to start where access route to back country does not involve major climb to get there (ie. Independence to K Pass) but do want some climbing. Mammouth Lakes, Sonora Pass, Echo, Donner. Not sure on difficulty getting permits at last moment. 

W/b there near end if April through May but could stay longer. 
I'm a retired 64 yo male in decent shape. Will not be fast-paced. 
Objective:  see if thru-hiking is really a goal and to prepare to replace some current gear w/ UL later this year. 
I live/travel in my RV so w/b looking for places to park the rig while hiking. Maybe we'll meet some of the 2013 class enroute. Currently a snowbird in Tucson.
