    Default Nobo 2017

    Leaving NoBo in April, wondering if I'll be seeing any faces or if anyone is thinking about it.

    The PCT is getting to be as busy as the AT. You'll see a LOT of faces, about 2,500 people will be doing the same thing.

    Don't you need permission to start on a particular date during the busy season? Are they talking permit applications now? How flexible is your start date? You will be starting with 49 of your new best friends.
    Enjoy.

    Hope to see you either at Woody Gap Outfitters (1/2 mile easy walk west of Woody Gap at NOBO mile 21.1) OR Top of Georgia Hostel and Hiking Center (1/2 mile easy walk west of Dicks Creek Gap NOBO mile 69.7)

    Ha yah I realize that there is a lot more people, but just like when I hiked the AT about 40% drop out within the first couple hundred miles, also the pct is a lot tougher of a start. Hope to meet some new trail fam

    As Venchka indicated you do need a reservation to start at the Mexican border. Hopefully you already have one. If not you need to check when the next date for release of reservations is and be johnny on the spot.
