[pct-l] pct where?

[kraig.mottar at verizon.net (Kraig Mottar)]

If I go skiing next week in Big Bear where will the PCT be? I think it goes throught Big Bear.

I'm probably going to have to replace my backpack as I think its pretty fubar. Its been a while since I bought it so what are the prices? I'll be getting hiking boots. I hope I'm not boring anyone. I want to get a GPS to tell how far I've hiked, what do they cost? A small one to afix to my waist or backpack.

Happy trails,

Kraig
