[pct-l] found pack, resupply question, alt.routes

[m.karon@xxxxxxxxx (m.karon@xxxxxxxxx)]

In Oregon, the PCT is about as good as it gets. Be sure to go up to the rim of
Crater Lake. Then, when you reach the Sister and you want additional
adventures, hike to Green Lakes and then up to the top of South Sister. And if
you still don't have enough, go up Middle Sister. After that, you could always
do the 40 mile loop on the Timberline Trail around Mt. Hood - and witness some
awesome, fast moving streams and glacial stream bottoms. Going down to Cascade
Locks, go down via Eagle Creek from Whatum Lake (or Indian Springs).

The alternate trails in the south take you to more resorts and water. They are
described in the guide. The road walks aren't so interesting.

Have a great hike.
