[pct-l] Belden North

[m.karon at attbi.com (Marshall Karon)]

I started once around July 4th from Belden on my first PCT adventure, going
North to Canada. It was a low snow year. No snow at all. It was hot. Two
weeks can make a big difference, so check on snow conditions. Belden is very
low. There shouldn't be any issues until the Trinity Alps area, if at all.

Take lots of water for the ascent from Belden. Watch out for poison oak.
Don't expect to supply from Belden. If you stay overnight, bring ear plugs -
those trains are loud!

I was planning to resume my interrupted PCT walk North from Belden in
mid-July, but I'm getting antsy.  I'm thinking of starting week after next.
I'll need to take some time out to keep my bills paid, so overall I'll
average about 10 MPD.

Is it practical to start mid-June?  Any comments on snow?  Other
suggestions?
