[pct-l] enlighten me

[dude at fastmail.ca (dude)]

how much of a beginner are you?  have you done at least some weekend 
trips?  when you say "easiest", do you mean (a) close proximity to bail 
out points should youd ecide to go home, or (b) easy terrain such as no 
steep hills, no high elevations, no snow, and basically nothing 
physically strenuous, or (c) easy route-finding with really well-marked 
trail intersections and not many opportunities to take the wrong trail?

also, how much ground do you want to cover in the two weeks?  that will 
determine alot as far as what you consider "easy".  if you can only 
cover 3-5 miles per day, then an "easy" section of trail for you would 
be very different than somone who can cover 20 miles per day with 
little effort.

not trying to be a pian, just wanna help you get the info that you are 
looking for.

peace,
dude
