[pct-l] night time activities

Hi
 
I like to backpack in the winter with a full moon. I also up grade to a  
larger flash light. If possible hike on a trail that is well maintained. Well  
night backpacking fallen trees are a real b&*#h

was out  on a day hike with my wife this last Saturday lamenting the fact
that we  didn't go out for a weekend backpack trip instead of a day hike
since the  weather was so pleasant.  Our day hike consisted of 3-1/2 or 4
miles  south from Cascade locks & back on the PCT.  



One of  the "problems" we came up with is we're used to backpacking in the
summer  when the sun sets late & we can hike till late, eat dinner &  crash.
With the short days we're dealing with now it's dark by 5:15 PM.
