Schedule

 

This was the original schedule. We arrived on Oct 21, 2006. That was 5 days ahead of schedule. The PCT took 117 days, just under 4 months.

We ended up canceling a couple of our resupply drops, but this should give you a vague idea of what we were doing. The most controversial mail drop that we did NOT do was Vermillion. Instead, we opted to hike from Tuolumne Meadows to Kennedy Meadows in one shot. That's 240 miles without a resupply!
