Marcia -
My handy, dandy little wrist chronometer/altimeter has a logging function 
that I used to record daily total elevation gain.  And while I don't know 
the total for the PCT (I quit keeping the numbers somewhere in Washington), 
I can tell you that 318,563 feet won't get you through California. That may 
be the "book" value, but it's not even close to the total elevation gain.

Walk softly,
Jim
