[pct-l] San Jacinto Report from Rachel Ginsburg in Idyllwild.

[Dana Law]

Dana,

Here's another update.  A fire has broken out in the San Jacinto
Wilderness.  The PCT is now closed from Highway 74 to Devil's Slide.  The
fire  was reported by a hiker at about 5 p.m. yesterday Tuesday.  The winds
up there are gusting to 60 mph, so as of noon today Wednesday, the
fire-fighting effort is delayed.  Idyllwild is getting smokier by the
minute.  The Forest Service is posting signs for trail closure, but may miss
some hikers.  Devil's Slide Trail may close also.

So I'm still here, and have now morphed into a trail angel.  I've hosted
Eric D., So Far and Seven, and am inviting hikers to camp at the cabin
tonight.  To be continued....

Rachel
