Hi All,

I've been reading about the presidential traverse and was wondering a few things about the trip. I hope one of you have the answer.

1. A friend of mine and myself are considering doing the traverse in the third week of Feb (15-20). Aiming for 3days/2nights. We have done mid-winter camping before but i hear the Presidentials are a different beast. Currently my friend's itinerary is tentative. Should he not show up, how ...
