So you're coming down to my neck of the woods to do Section C and I'm thinking about heading up your way and doing Section E.

About the best way I know to get into trail shape is to take a hike :-)

Hiking is great because it is so cheap. It is simple and you don't need a high paying job to be a hiker. Once you get all the equipment you can run free. Concerns about your income, goodlooks, presentation, fitness, social status go out the window.…

After poring through the northern California and Oregon/Washington PCT guides, I have decided to hike the section of the PCT between Highways 140 and 138 in Oregon (Section C). It goes through the Sky Lakes wilderness and Crater Lake National Park.…
