[pct-l] questions from a novice

[mbridg01@ccsf.cc.ca.us (Mark)]

Hi everyone.

I'm planning on doing a solo hike from Tahoe to Mt. Whitney starting in
late June.  My main concern is about being able to ford any raging rivers -
due to all the extra snow in the Sierras. I'll have a hiking staff which
might help out in certain situations, but beyond that, ???

Anybody have some sage advice for me?

ALSO : I've noticed most through-hikers are traveling south to north. Is
there an advantage to hiking south/north (starting in May) rather than
north/south (starting in June)?

Thanks.

Mark
