[pct-l] Just joining....

[Doug Carlson]

Just a slight correction- I do not want to claim honors that don't belong to me.  I have not hiked the entire CDT.  I have hiked about 1,000 miles of it- what I would consider some of the prime sections.  I now want to begin section hiking the PCT the same way but like the CDT picking one section over another is not going to be easy.  

 

I do like the desert hiking though- discovered that  from doing southern NM.  And I live in southern AZ east of Phoenix.

 

And I am also fishing for another retired person (or not so retired) that would be content to hike about 12- 14  miles a day.  I have so much to learn about the PCT....

If you've done the CDT, then there's not much you can learn here, except I guess towns, water source locations, hostels, etc.  The gear and mental parts, you've already mastered.  I salute you.

Delighted to be part of the pct-l.  Mango, thanks for the advice but I learned that much on the CDT.

Doug,

Welcome to the List.  Here's my initial advice.

 

Fall uphill.

Pee downhill.
