[pct-l] where will the through-hikers be July 2-6?



<< it might
 be more fun to be much farther north and watch the through-hikers zoom by.
 Where do you think the median ultimately-successful through-hiker will 
 be on July 4? >>

A hiker who started at the ADZ, on April 28, and was traveling 20 mpd, would 
be somewhere between Sierra City and Burney Falls on July 4.  Both of those 
places are nice to visit.  Belden is between these two, but there's not a 
whole lot to occupy your time there.  

The leaders, doing 25 mpd or more, will be past Castella (Dunsmuir) by the 
4th.  Snow is not going to slow the hikers much this year unless they're too 
late getting to the northern Cascades.
