[pct-l] trail maintenance

[Tortoise]

Hiked a bit of the PCT from Echo Lakes (N of US50 to just north of Squaw 
Creek (Squaw Valley).

Probably like most of the trail, some sections were easy walks around 
good trail, some were wading thru knee-high vegetation with the trail 
obscured, and some were a bit of a scramble up or down a few feet or rock.

We still have a ways to go to bring all the PCT up to standard.

I didn't do any trail maintenance on my way, but I did carry out a small 
bit of trash.
