I also assumed that the guide books showed the "best" places to stop along
the trail. What I'm learning however, is that there are soooo many amazing
and wonderful places right along the PCT that aren't mentioned in ANY of the
guidebooks.

I've decided that I'm going to create my own resupply/town stop strategy
using the guidebooks as a reference, not a bible or a "how-to". (my fault I
know, but I just wanted to throw that thought out to y'all).

Case in point, check out this little gem, oh sure it'll blow my hotel budget
all to hell, but I think it would be worth it!
