[pct-l] The Trans PCT Challenge

[Tortoise73 at charter.net (Tortoise)]

I'll have to check lin on the connections and junctions. I don't think 
the Kelsey trail is open all the way it. As a historical note, the 
Kelsey Trail was originally a supply route from Crescent City to inland 
gold fields.

Down in the SF Bay Area, one could take public transit to get from the 
west edge of SF over to Martinez close to John Muir's home. I don't know 
the connections, could be an all day adventure. There are several 
(youth) hostels in SF where one could take a zero day or two to explore 
and rest up.
