[at-l] PCT?

[Jim Bullard]

I didn't take it that he was saying not to *attend* ADZPCTKO. Rather,
he was saying that it wasn't necessarily the best idea to start a PCT
hike from the ADZPCTKO. Conditions might be more auspicious at some
other time. Go to ADZPCTKO if it turns your crank but start your hike
when you choose. Don't let it be dictated by ADZPCTKO. Sounds like
good advice to me.
