Grex Nature Item 54: Pacific Crest Trail Hike Planning
Entered by ewhisam on Wed Aug 30 17:24:12 UTC 1995:

I am planning an expedition grade hike of the Pacific Crest Trail
in its entirity of 2857 or so miles to begin in Mid-April of a
couple of years or so and extend for 5 to 5 1/2 months of that 
year until late September or Early October. This is only now in 
the very early planning stages. Any experiences, comments or ideas
would be very welcome.

I have no direct experience with the PCT, but one Usenet group you
might check out is rec.backcountry.  PCT discussions come up quite
regularly.

Here's a post to rec.backcountry that might be worth an email reply:

I recently read a message from someone asking about information on
thru-hiking the PCT.  I thru-hiked the PCT in '94 (and the AT in '93) and
have prepared a long letter that I sent to several friends who expressed
an interest in doing the PCT.  I would be happy to send it anyone
considering a thru-hike or long section hike.  It was a spectacular
experience I will always treasure.
