>differ with Strider's favorite stretch.

I have live for almost 40 years in San Diego and I love hiking in the desert
and chaparral from the boarder to the Sierra's.  This type of floral and
fauna cannot be found anywhere else along The Trail.  It's wonderful to hike
among those plants-that-bite and enjoy the wide open expanses of a good
burned out area.  The inhospitableness is great.  Oh and do not forget the
100°+ temperatures; it's great when that hot dry air courses into your
lungs, drying out everything in its path.  I love it!

See ya Margo.
