you are not accomplishing anything by skipping the 275 unless your calender is short and you have a tight window !
i have gone all my trail life . it is the best way to gain information on trails, equipment, technique , and general life on the trails in the company of ld hikers who have done it all !

Rock --are you going to sell them at the FOOL's Bash ?
It all depends on how much you can stay in the woods ,smell yourself ,and your ability to budget ..Most cannot make it on 4000 . Many can ------
Also keep in mind , that more experienced hikers start the PCT . The romantics ,Theorians, and uneducated start the ATC and that is why the drop out rate at 32 miles miles is greater than 15%.% .
The reason they closed the roads is weather . Hikers should consider if it is wise to start the approach trail when the USFS has closed all roads accessing the first 32 miles . It takes good cold...

That's good ---Remind him again --- Does he need more supplies ?
If someone sees him, please ask him to quit tagging every sign he passes . He did on his hike last year before he was arrested in Georgia .
The store is closed in the off season . check if they will be open then . AS of now only Mountain House at the outfitter.
It will be 2 degrees at Gooch Gap tonight . _about 20 miles in - A good test of winter talents in two or three weeks !
