[pct-l] Solo Female - Leaving Boyfriend At Home

[Amanda Timeoni]

Am I on craigslist? "Solo Female- LEAVING boyfriend at home..."
If he's not into it then go it alone. But believe me, you won't be alone
out on the PCT unless you really want to be (i.e. Crow) Most female "solo"
PCT hikers are rarely solo. Considering that most thru-hikers are male, is
he going to be ok with you hiking with/around another male(s)? I have seen
a lot of strife over the years...
