So I originally applied for a permit to start at the southern terminus on April 10. I am going to be starting grad school this fall, and ended up unexpectedly flying out to visit a school about a week ago after being put on the wait list. Because of that, I missed my start date and I am now planning to head out on the PCT on May 1.
After reading the PCTA long distance permit FAQ page:
http://www.pcta.org/discover-the-tra...ce-permit-faq/
It sounds like there is a checkpoint at mile 14 that will have volunteers checking permits for the proper start date and location with "access to law enforcement". My question is, where am I supposed to start, seeing as my start date has already passed? I sent a message to the PCTA asking this question last week, but never got a response. Does anyone know?
