[pct-l 24] pct-l at backcountry.net not responding

[David Hough reading PCT-L]

There hasn't been a content-full contribution to pct-l at backcountry.net since
January, though one item of probably spam appeared in March.

pct-l at oakapple.net is still available as a backup substitute.

Switching to Facebook might not help.    I've seen several reports that
young people now consider Facebook to be for old people.

Be that as it may, this is the posting I tried to send to pct-l at backcountry.net

Subject: news from PCTA

The annual report is online -

https://www.pcta.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/2022-Annual-Report-FINAL-Screen-v2.pdf

And there's a new (to me) section on the website that talks about
when to hike the PCT in an "average" year -

https://www.pcta.org/discover-the-trail/backcountry-basics/when-to-hike-pct/

But it's a moving average.    Every year a few remarkable individuals complete
a continuous through-hike of the whole trail, but many more try and don't
make it.    Between fire and ice, it seems to be getting harder to find the
right window.

My own preference - in theory since I'm too old now to try it in practice -
is to plan to do the whole trail over two years, with the desert in the spring
and the high country over two summers.

Your mileage might vary.
