[pct-l] start date



>> I'm confused about when I should start my PCT '04 hike.  I would like to
go to the ADZPCTKO but it seems like that is kind of early.  <<

Starting a bit early helps out in the early days of your hike. You'll have
additional time to take some days off or hike slower before getting to
Kennedy Meadows. Once you enter into Northern California, many start
cranking up the hike with longer days and more miles. There are also fewer
places to get off the trail further north.

The Kickoff gives you a real chance to learn a few additional tricks you can
take advantage of as your hike progresses.
