[pct-l] Trail coverage

[Montedodge@aol.com]

JoAnn, thanks for the great post. Northern Calif. does have some great 
country!!!! Some of the best tasting water that I remember came from the 
Marble Mountains. ( Still like looking at old slides of Wolford cabin, Marble 
Mountains)  I think some of the reasons the Sierra's get so much coverage on 
the list (besides the beauty)  is the elevation, chances of late storms and 
distances between resupply points. You can get in big trouble if you mess up 
on this section. Most sections can be done with the Jardine "Happy go Lucky 
approach " carrying a handbag and a shower curtain shelter, but not the 
Sierras. At risk of the wrath of the ultras, I can say even tinkle toes , 
Jardine himself shows great respect for the Sierras and beefs up his arsenel 
of hiking tricots for this section of the trail. Washington's Northern 
section can be trouble for the late finisher or unprepared as well. Thank You 
again for your post JoAnn.  Monte
