[pct-l] Calif hiking and riding trail

[Montedodge@aol.com]

 As some of you folks know, most of the PCT in California was made of other 
pre-existings trails. Are any of the old Calif. riding and hiking trail signs 
left on the Southern portion of the trail. In Washington, the PCT follows the 
old Cascade Crest Trail route for most of it's way. I had the old Cascade 
Crest guide book and took the old route whenever possible. ( It's fun working 
on your route finding ) In Oregon the PCT follows the old Skyline Trail which 
also offers you some challenging route finding in a few spots where the old 
trail varies from the new PCT. Checkout old book stores for the 1960's 
version of these routes. ( I have found hundreds of the old Diamond shape 
trail markers on these old abandoned trails which have many blowdowns , but 
are a real kick to hike and no crowds )
