[pct-l] Tehachapi Mountains PCT Route

[Donna Saufley]

The land has been 100% donated by the Tejon Ranch for the PCT easement.  No
funds will be necessary at all.  That is why this is such a monumental gift
to the trail . . . the original cost to purchase the land was estimated at
$12 million.

The agreement is that Tejon will sell the land for the PCT route. Until
somebody ponies up the money, it is still private property. So, it you want
to hike in 2009, it is a mere matter of getting the money to buy the
property....

So, in light of this historic agreement with Tejon Ranch, does this mean
that I can LEGALLY set foot there in 2009?  Also, does anyone know the
proposed route the Forest Service came up with in the Tehachapi Mountains
before giving up due to the private owners opposition and locating the trail
below?

Though it probably isn't realistic, but I was just wondering if it would be
possible to use an outdated federal topo map and compass and bushwack one's
way across next spring without being arrested/shot at?
