[pct-l] Late May Temps

[m.karon@xxxxxxxxx (Marshall Karon)]

Well, you are about a month later than most, but you are young and probably
strong. So, hike swiftly but wisely. I suggest contacting trail angels in
the south for advise on water. Some may be able to leave some caches to help
you out.  If you are trained ahead of time, you may be able to go a bit
faster in the desert. Many through hikers take some time off in towns, so if
you keep going, you won't end up really being that far behind. Who knows how
this season's weather will play out. Going later may turn out to be
perfect - or not. Stay flexible and be willing to change your plans. Have a
great hike.

            This is my first post so ill introduce my self.  I have yet to
choose a trail name but currently I go buy Dan.  I'm 24 year old student,
and unfortunately will be unable to attend the Kick off.  Instead, I plan on
beginning solo on the 23rd of May, just after the semester ends.  Anyway
just curious to see how many people plan on beginning the trail this late,
or if it maybe it's a bad idea due to the high temperatures, and lack of
water.  Also it would be great to meat up with people that may be planning
on starting around the same time.









    Time heals all wounds, so go out and get hurt
