[pct-l] Anybody want to leave before kick-off?

[River Malcolm]

Hi patrick

Hello all! This is my first post. So grateful for opportunity to read and learn from and with this vibrant community of PCT pilgrims. 

I'd like to do that same segment --campo to Warner) in April if possible but FINISH around April 20--I am a total nubey and this will be my virgin voyage so I am excited and scared. I am 65 and new to pack backing (day packed Camino del Santiago last spring and decided to retire and section-hike what I can of the PCT). 

Right now I would prefer to walk solo partly because i expect to be the slowest gal on the PCT but also because I love to be alone in the natural world -- but also long for a sense of tribe and connection ( not to mention safety). Anyone starting first week or two of April?
