[pct-l] No Olallie Lake Resort resupply

[Jeff]

My sister lives in Bend and said that the State is not going to plow 
McKenzie Pass this year - that it likely won't melt out enough for car 
traffic til the end of of July. 

I've hitched from Santiam pass, and you do have to trust the fates as 
people are passing by at 65 mph - but there are a lot of outdoorsy types 
and I've never had to wait long...

Jeff, just Jeff...

Santiam gets more traffic but McKenzie has a campground and the Dee Wright Observatory both of which attract a lot of parked cars. There's no reason for cars to slow or stop atop Santiam Pass as the only thing there is the trailhead parking lot for the PCT and Old Oregon Skyline Trail thruogh the Eight Lakes Basin.
