[pct-l] Oregon

[Scott Williams]

I agree MendoRider.  I hiked in a bug repellant ExOfficio shirt on the PCT
and for many other shorter trips before and after, and finally replaced it
mid way on the CDT because it was finally starting to shred on trail.  I
was looking like a real homeless person about that time.  Why Not found the
same shirt in a bargain pile in Steamboat Springs, and I used that to
Canada.  As many thousands of miles as that original shirt had on it, and
in spite of many, many washings, no mosquito ever bit through it.  They are
great shirts.

Anyone passing through Seattle should make a stop at the ExOfficio bargain
outlet on First Street.  It's just around the corner from SAM (Seattle Art
Museum).  Their clothes are pricy, so the outlet is a good way to go.
 Given the wear and tear that shirt took, and the thousands of miles, it
was worth every penny in the long run.  I tried replacing it with a
Columbia shirt at Breckenridge, but that one was falling apart in the mere
few hundred miles to Steamboat.  It was good to get back into an ExOfficio
at that point.
