[pct-l] stoves,,,different ones...!

Just go to the web and look up REI and their stoves. Better yet, go into any
camping store and you will find several small stoves/burners. But, you won't
find the alcohol stoves there.

Starting out from the Columbia Gorge and going either direction forces you
to hike 4000+ feet of an elevation gain rather quickly. If you aren't in
shape, that will be a tough hike and you may hate it. If you are only after
a short hike, I suggest you start at Timberline Lodge and hike to the
Columbia Gorge - beautiful and down hill for the most part. There are many
other section hikes that you may find more appealing if you are just
starting out doing long distance hiking. The idea is to both challenge and
enjoy yourself while soaking up the beauty.
