[pct-l] Station Fire -- PCT Closure

[AsABat]

I saw a report on another board that they are evacuating Soledad Canyon
between Agua Dulce and Indian Canyon (which is where the PCT meets
Soledad Canyon). I haven't been able to confirm this. Nothing on PCTA
website but I would consider Section D closed from Agua Dulce at least
as far east (trail south) as Three Points.
