[pct-l] CA section E

[dsaufley]

You're correct, Jim.  Both the conservation easement language and the exact
location of the trail are still being negotiated. It is too premature to
know when that process will be complete.  Upon completion, the actual trail
will need to be built (in the ballpark of 40+ miles).  The reroute
completion is years off. Exactly how many, I hesitate to say. I don't think
anyone can at this point. 

I'd like to take this opportunity to say what an incredible job the staff of
the PCTA, alongside their partners in the USFS, have done representing the
trail and all of our fervent wishes to move this trail where it belongs in
the mountains and off the Mojave floor. They are true professionals, and we
are all fortunate to have the team that we do representing the PCT. This is
no small task, in fact, it's Herculean, and it is taking place against a
backdrop of many urgent needs elsewhere along the trail. Your support and
donations are truly needed, and so very much appreciated.

It will be several years before the rerouted trail is done.  Maybe L-Rod or 
Anitra will see this and give us more details, but my understanding is that 
it is taking much longer than expected to get the exact location of the 
trail easement worked out.   Once that is done there will still be a lot of 
work to do (lots of volunteers will be needed).
