[pct-l] 200 mile backpack

[Pegasus12125 at aol.com (Pegasus12125@xxxxxxx)]

I am looking for advice on a section of the PCT I might do in a four-week 
period with my 17 year old son this coming summer.    We have done a lot of 
hiking in the East, including Vermont's Long Trail in 2001.

We've never hiked or backpacked in the West and would welcome suggestions on 
a 200 mile section that would not be terrifically difficult or terrfically 
crowded in July 2004, and would be appropriate for a 54 year-old guy is 
reasonably good--but not spectacularly good shape--with no high elevation experience.

For reference, we covered 10-12 miles per day on the Long Trail.

Thank you for your advice!

Larry
