Any other suggestions on not to miss campsites etc? I was just aiming to hit around 20 miles a day. Hoping for good weather, still about a month out from this trip: planning to be on trail September 7-12. I’ve never hiked with a inreach or anything like that and my friend is asking questions about potential for cell service to call our pick up for rendezvous at Fields Point and also wondering about bear spray. will be my first time hiking north of oregon as well. looking forward to it! thanks for any suggestions or tips.
