[pct-l] Request for PCT factoids . . .

[wandering_bob at comcast.net (Bob Bankhead)]

I can tell you about California sections A - H   Campo to Tuolumne Meadows

      A 17,845
      B 25,822
      C 26,262
      D 32,356
      E 22,956
      F 15,236
      G 29,588
      H 109,359
      SUM 279,424


The rest of my section mileage pages are all in MSWord. That's too many to
redo in Excel.
