| Q. | Will you ever section hike it again? |
| A. | No. The next time I get an opportunity to hike the PCT, I plan for it to be a thru-hike. |
| Q. | How hard was water to get along the sections you did? |
| A. |
Attaining water was simply unreliable, at best. Water sources change
rapidly in the desert. What was flowing two weeks ago may be sand when you
arrive. You simply could not rely on the water reports, at least for my
sections. I.e. I had heard rumors about Barrel Springs being a mere
trickle. Wild Bill informed me it was knee deep and flowing hard. I
just made sure I was fully stocked at all times. Albeit heavy, it was
better than the alternative.
A note: I want to personally thank all the trail angels for the caches along the way! |
