[pct-l] Oregon Conditions

[Wayne Kraft]

Piroska Balogh said:

"There is a trail angel (Okie Girl) at Lava Lake Campground on the
Sisters side of the McKenzie Highway who is there to help out thru-
hikers with rides to Sisters and back. Look for the sign at the PCT
trail junction near the south side of the highway for directions to
her camp."

The general Three Sisters area sports a Lava Lake (aka Big Lava Lake), a 
Little Lava Lake, a Camp Lake and (drum roll) Lava Camp Lake.  Piroska is 
describing Lava Camp Lake in this message. Okie Girl doubtless has signs 
posted to direct hikers from the PCT to the campground at small and rather 
obscure Lava Camp Lake.  If you approach from some other direction, Lava 
Camp Lake campground is on a cinder spur road that turns off the south side 
of Hwy 242 just east of Dee Wright Observatory at the summit.  I believe one 
must take a short spur trail off the PCT to get to Lava Camp Lake, otherwise 
the PCT will bypass it and go directly out to Hwy 242.
