someone posted a message on the AT forum asking about the SoCal Handbook. It’s out. I saw one last week. You should be able to find it at the online bookstores. Check out the PCT-L from the PCTA website. You have to go thru several pages to find it. I think you start with trip planning, then go to resources, then forums, then forum archives, then archives for a specific month. There was a lot of talk about the book earlier this month, I think. May have been at the end of January. If you have any trouble, email me off-list, and I can help you.
