So I am a proud AT2008 thru hiker and am already saving for the PCT in 2011. I grew up in the east and new about what I had in store for myself in the east. But for the PCT and being so close to the Mexican border I was looking for information about murder and deaths on the PCT. Being a single female hiker I always need to reinforce saftey so my mom wont cry. I couldnt find much other than hypotermia and 2 hikers getting hit by a car.
Dose anyone know if there have been murders along the PCT? and were and when and all that jazz?
