Got my first "trail butterflies" today! I've been
through this before (AT '98), so I didn't know if the
newness of a long distance hike had worn off and
obliterated the butterflies in the stomach feeling
that precedes a thru-hike. Ha! PCT 2000. Wow.
This list has been very informative, and I thank
everyone who takes the time to contribute.
I plan to begin my hike on April 25th. I've done some
desert hiking in West Texas, but have no conception of
S. California weather (other than "hot"). I will
carry nylon convertible pants, tshirt, long sleeve
white cotton shirt and heavy fleece jacket. Any
recommendations for additional clothing for the higher
reaches preceding the Sierra? Should I carry my
Goretex shell in addition or in stead of my fleece?
Any advice would be welcomed.
Karen, aka Nocona
