[pct-l] Flip-Flop Start

[TBrokaw at montmush.com]

Great plan.  I think more of us should do flip-flops or section hiking. 
This would thin out the crowd on the trail.  I'm doing this myself.
I'll let others comment on ideal start point.  Good luck!

I'm excited about the snow we have this yea.r I think it will make the PCT
more of an adventure. But I was thinking I'd start mid-April and that may
necessitate a flip-flop. My next thought  was that maybe I should just
start off with a flip-flop? That is start my hiking somewhere north of 
Lake
Tahoe.  My thought was that doing so I could avoid some of the large pack
leaving from the Mexican border and have a better overall hiking
experience.

So I have two questions for the wisdom of the list:

   - If I start North of Tahoe in Mid-April where would be a good place to
   start?
   - I don't want to hike in 110 degree desert heat so when is the latest
   folks would recommend for flipping back to the border?

Maybe this plan isn't practical at all?

Thanks in advance,

       -Scott
