<Since Section E has been mentioned quite a bit I want
to let people
 know of the efforts that have been going on to make
it a more enjoyable
 hiking experience. I am the section chief (
volunteer) and have had the
 pleasure of working with some amazing people who
share the same vision
 of a trail that is open and hikable from Mexico to
Canada. We know that
 the bulk of the people using the trail here are
thru-hikers. This
 section has had its share of fires and subsequent
erosion but there are many
 dedicated, generous people who donate their time and
spend money on
 gas to travel long distances to the projects. As you
hike over Liebre
 Mountain there have been brushing projects, downed
tree removal,  tread
 repair and major culverts installed.>



Dave, many thanks to you and others for the hours
you've put in on this section. Gazelle and I hiked
from Hikertown to the Andersons last weekend and the
trail was, overall, in great shape.  Btw...the views
of the poppy fields down in the Antelope Valley
bordered on the surreal...it looked as though bits of
day glo orange paint had been splashed across the
desert floor.  Stunning.  If anyone was contemplating
doing that chunk sometime soon...the sooner the
better.






Thanks again,
Squatch
