[pct-l] The Trans PCT Challenge

[kdpo at gottawalk.com (Ken Powers)]

The Bay Area Ridge trail doesn't get near the PCT. It only gets about as far 
east as Mt Diablo. However we discovered the Mokolumne Trail near Orinda 
that is supposed to connect to the crest. I am not sure where the connection 
is though. I think somewhere between Sonora and Lake Tahoe area.

Another option (that I am sure of) is the American Discovery trail from Pt 
Reyes to Squaw Valley. The mountain part of that trail follows the Western 
States Trail (or Tevas Trail) from Squaw to Auburn, another foot trail to 
Folsom  and bike trails from Folsom to Old Sacramento. The ADT follows the 
levees from Sacramento to Antioch. The bikes use a different trail to the 
west of the Sacramento River.

The problem with these routes is that they are mid-state. Maybe we could 
make a figure 8 trail instead?

It could hook in with the Bay Area Ridge Trail (www.ridgetrail.org).
