[pct-l] Trail reports about downed trees

[Fuzz McPherson]

On the PCT between Timothy Lake near Warm Springs Indian Reservation and Timberline part way up Mt. Hood in July (25 mile section), and then in September between Timberline and down into Warm Springs Indian Reservation a ways (50 mile section), there will be a couple of ultra-marathons.  In advance of these events, crews of runner / volunteers will be out clearing out as much as they can off of the trails.  So, the Timothy Lake to Timberline section should be clear by about mid July.  Middle of Warm Springs Indian Reservation to Timothy Lake should be clear by middle of September.

Re: Glacier Peak in WA. I'd definitely stay on the actual PCT (old route or
whatever). Lots of progress--bridges and maintenance--up to Milk Creek.
There was a crew working on a new bridge there last August (further
downstream from the old one). Milk Creek to Suiattle was really hard to
follow, but there was a huge log straddling Suiattle--hopefully, it will
still be around this summer.
