[pct-l] Which book?

[glenhubbell at yahoo.com (Glen Hubbell)]

Some thoughts on guide books:

1) For the most part, it is obvious where the trail
goes.

2) AsABat provided a printed water report for southern
Cal at last years ADZPCTKOP gathering.

3) The best re-supply list is off of the PCTA web site
because it will allow you to print out shipping labels

http://www.pcta.org/planning/before_trip/labels.asp 

4) Almost all hikers have way too much trail
information and are glad to share it.
