[pct-l] Etna Summit road walk - CORRECTIONS!

[enyapjr at comcast.net]

Had time this afternoon to check out the "Mugginsville" cutoff in the Quartz Valley area for the road walk from 
Etna Summit to Lovers Camp...

Mileages are approximate!!!
>From Etna Summit to the Alderbrook/Hikers Hut is ~10 miles...
It is ~0.4 miles to 'downtown' Etna (such as the Etna Brewery!!) on Main Street...
Turn left on Collier (Ray's Market), ~0.5 miles to Dotty's/Hwy. 3...
Hwy. 3 North ~5.6 miles to 1st Greenview turnoff...
Through Greenview on Main ~0.6 miles to Quartz Vally Road, turn left...
Turn left ~1.6 miles (staying on Quartz Valley Road, do NOT go straight on Oro Fino Road)...
Go ~1.8 miles to Mugginsville, stay on Quartz Valley Road (road curves to right at a junction)...
Go straight at ~0.6 miles on Dangel Lane (formerly East Quartz Valley Road - sorry!) - a 'mix' of paved and dirt road...
Rejoin Quartz Valley Road ~3.7 miles (turn right from Dangel Lane)...
(if you stay on Quartz Valley Road instead of Dangel Lane, it will be ~4.5 miles to the same point, but all paved)...
Go ~0.8 miles to Scott River Road (at Meamber School), turn left...
Go ~7.0 miles on Scott River Road to Indian Scotty bridge, turn left and go over bridge 
~0.2 miles to Indian Scotty campground - water spigot at entrance is working...
Take the "Trailheads" road and follow signs to Lovers Camp, ~7.3 miles...
>From Lovers Camp to the PCT on Canyon Creek Trail is ~4.7 miles...

[From 1st Greenview turnoff to Fort Jones is ~7.0 miles; Fort Jones to Meamber School on Scott River Road 
is ~7.2 miles...  Please note there is very little shade on those 14+ miles; also the Scott River Road has been 
oiled and graveled for ~9 miles out of Fort Jones]

My calculation for the Etna Summit/Etna/Lovers Camp/PCT road walk via the Mugginsville cut off is ~45 miles...
According to the Data Book the closed PCT portion is ~24 PCT miles...

Hope this info helps the PCT hikers!

Best wishes and good luck on your journey!  Happy trails!!!
