[pct-l] RE.Trail Maintenance

[Donald Pierce]

I agree.  I would support not spending a dime on the detour and focus all of the resources on the original route.

  It seems to me that just as many people are hiking the old route around Glacier Peak, and far more people would rather hike this route, and even more important than this, the old route needs more work. Also take it in to consideration we are now excepting the reroute, as the PCT. I say to try to pressure the PCTA in to helping us save one of the best stretches of trail on its entire length.Ask any person who has hiked both stretches, which side of Glacier Peak they prefer, and you will get the same answer, the west side of coarse. I myself feel sorry for all the hikers who missed this stretch. I have heard from others, the forest service, is only preventing future expenses by not fixing or maintaining the original route. Eventually the detour will become the PCT. The PCTA knows this. When the bridges first were washed out the PCTA acted like they were going to work on it. I have been through the section 3 times since, and nobody has lifted a finger. So lets do not ask for det
   our maintenance, lets fix the PCT. If I am wrong about the facts, I would appreciate the truth and the peoples names who stand behind this. I have only heard this from others so I appologize if I am wrong. The main thing is we should get to the bottom of this. It is important.
