[pct-l] Resources for Sub 4-Month Thru-Hike?

[Aaron Preston]

Hi JP,

This is my first post, too. :)  Have you read  Malto's trail journal?

http://postholer.com/journal/viewJournal.php?sid=4415bc8238ecb12fb62e03ced875c671&entry_id=20018

He did it in 99 days.  The journal has great info on preparation, gear,
nutrition, and some helpful post-hike reflections. It's a good read all the
way through.  I don't recall whether it has details on his itinerary and
resupply locations, but the entries give you a good sense of his
pace/schedule and at the end he gives data such as average daily miles for
each section of the trail.

Good luck!
