[pct-l] PCT Handbook is finished !!

[yogilists at hotmail.com (yogi yogi)]

The PCT Handbook is finished!  As some of you know, I've been working on a 
PCT Handbook, and it's FINALLY ready!  I'm really happy with the book. About 
30 previous thru-hikers have contributed their opinions on a variety of 
hiking topics: water treatment methods, sleeping bags, resupply, fording, 
snow travel, journaling, footwear, alternate routes, etc. I've also detailed 
the water cache locations, water availability, confusing trail junctions, 
hints for crossing the passes, bear box locations, and specific information 
on approximately 50 towns (how to get there, maildrop info, resupply, 
lodging, restaurants, ATM/phone, etc).  I've listed where you can find 
HEET/alcohol and internet service.

The Handbook is in two parts:  PART ONE is tips on planning and gear.  PART 
TWO is meant to be carried with you on the trail.  This second part has 
mile-by-mile town, trail, and water information.  The mileage in my Handbook 
matches up with the PCTA's Data Book, which makes it easy to use the two 
books together.  (In case any one is wondering, yes I've got permission from 
the PCTA to use the Data Book mileage.)

The goal of the book is to take the confusion out of pre-hike planning and 
on-trail logistics.  If you're interested in obtaining a copy of the PCT 
Handbook, please email me at:  yogihicker@sbcglobal.net
