Washington PCT Aug 09

I don't get out of summer quarter till the 14th of august or I'd definitely think about it. Since I was planning a section J and or possibly section K hike this summer anyhow, shortly after I get out of college for the summer. I was going to hike them south if I got the opportunity, but might be able to meet and do a section or 2. 15 miles should be fine for me as long as I stretch alot, I was planning on working up to 20 this summer anyhow. I can't completely commit yet though.

Hi Bob,

I am doing my final prep for my first thru-hike of Washington starting August 5th around Panther Creek, and planning on ending Sept. 4th in Manning Park as well. I'm also looking at 15+ mile days to start, and then a few 20 as well, along with a few days off sprinkled in to camp with friends.

In any case, if you get this before departing and want to hike together for a bit, let me know. It's my first long-distance solo hike, so some company might be good!

Thanks,
