[pct-l] Looking for driving directions to Oregon/Calif. border nearest the PCT

[Sharon]

Good evening, Squatch,

A good Forest Service road crosses the gap between Oregon and California a few hundred yards from the state boundary.  If you are a GPS user, the road crosses the PCT at 42.00497N  122.91218W.  Getting to that gap is a bit difficult from either state's side.  If you want to approach from the Oregon side I can send you instructions and a map file.  If you wish to approach from the California side I will defer to someone local, perhaps Deems Burton.

While it is never totally safe to leave a vehicle unattended, that is a lonesome spot with not a lot of traffic.

By the way, for all of you trivia buffs:  The nominal Cal/Or border is 42 deg. N latitude.  South of Windsor, Ont. part of Canada, Pelee Point and the Pelee Islands, extends south below the 42 deg. parallel.  That means that there is a part of Canada that is further south than part of California.  Weird, huh?
