[pct-l] Rt 2 - section D

[Donna Saufley]

The rangers have actually told Todd (full-time CTUC volunteer at North Fork
ranger station) that they figured the hikers would be hiking the PCT through
the closure, and were surprised to hear the PCTer were following the
reroute.  They're less worried about what the hikers will do vs. mountain
bikers, motor cycles, etc.  Still, it's taking a chance to hike through.
And an even bigger chance that you would encounter a ranger through there.

Rt 2 is still closed and this is a chronic and potentially eternal closure -
from Vincent Gap (below Baden Powell) to Islip Saddle (near Little Jimmies)
This is almost exclusively a road used for recreation and not commuters so
there has been very little rush in completing the repairs.    Rt 2 is open
around Wrightwood - you just can't drive there from La Canada..  From the
PCT 1st crossing at Inspiration Point it would be a 7 mile +/- roadwalk but
there is a ranger station and Mt Hi ski area half way - with some traffic.
Many go down the Acorn Trail which takes you right into town.
   
  BTW there still is a Trail closure around Buckhorn Camp (390-393) because
of an endangered frog so unless you want a hefty fine it would be best to
road walk this few miles.

  Thanks for the info on canister stoves. I guess it will just be better to 
suck it up and mail them than to try to find them and hope along the way.

I just switched from alcohol to canister stoves--i cook and eat such 
outrageous amounts of food that the weight is about equal between the two, 
and alcohol takes like 25-30 minutes to cook my meals.

Oh, and my alcohol stove worked fine when I was eating normal amounts of 
food and/or cooking garbage like liptons, but I prefer having good nutrition

on the trail.


I had another question. Is the Angeles Crest Highway 2 near Wrightwood open 
now? If it is not, how long of a roadwalk is it into town?>

Thanks,

Hermes
