[pct-l] Section Hike

[Scott Williams]

Everything that Scott said.  Head net is a must, and bug repellant, but
even in a big snow year,  I had bad bugs in Tuolumne Meadows in late June
(the whole of the High Sierra could be bad if there's a big hatch)  but
north of that, it was sporadic and not at all the run screaming from the
trail type of bug problems.  You'll be hiking some of the most gorgeous
mountains in America.  Ending at the border will put you right near Ashland
Oregon, many folks' favorite trail town.  Great food, a bit of nightlife
and the Shakespeare festival of course.  Sounds like a great plan.

Have a wonderful Summer!
