Section Hikers,
Okay, its official. I've grown tired of sending individual emails.
This Section Hiking has generated enough attention to warrant a list
response.
Count me in. Im more then willing to join in the support group for
section hikers.
Below is the individual messages I sent out.

Although I am not part of any group, I am section hiking the trail.
Here is another message I sent recently. Perhaps we could help each
other out.
Thanks
Ben
I am a section hiker of the PCT. I am usually a solo hiker, and try to
cover about 15-20 miles each time out. Presently I am getting ready to
go over San Jacinto peak in the near future. In fact we have a backpack
trip for 5/30 - 6/1. While I'm not an ultra lighter, I do try to travel
lighter then most regular backpackers. I carry about pack about 40 lbs.
I wanted to offer the backpack trip to you, since it would give you a
chance to practice some ultralight techniques. And I might even learn a
thing or two.
Here is the plan for this weekend.

Is there a group out there that works together to section hike the PCT
trail?
I would like to section hike the trial and it would be better if there
was a
group doing it in some organized way. Thanks, Switchback
