[pct-l] Pacific Crest Length



 I think Howard is looking for total length of range and not just trail. According to Joe Hazard's 1948 book " Pacific Crest Trailways", the mt. range is roughly 10,000 miles from Alaska to Cape Horn. Joe's old book has lot's of cool info . 
     In 2000 PCT hiker " Lucky" from Germany was doing basicly this route after he finished the PCT. He started at Mex. Border after finishing in Canada a few weeks with Molson in Alaska and hiked south were he was stabbed in Columbia by a group of young thugs. He continued on to Ecuador were he caught a bad stomach virus that send him back to Germany. ( No news since on him)
   This trip would be indeed an adventure ( if you live) . With all the political problems lately, you would want to tell everyone you are canadian!!
