[pct-l] Olallie Lake Resort & Western Snowpack map

[Trekker4 at aol.com]

I called the nearby Ranger Station three days ago;  he said they were out of 
business. Unless someone has money to burn in this  economy, there is no 
chance in hell a new owner would have it up and running  this year, and he knew of 
no new owner.
     I took it off my non-spreadsheet logistics  planning page. Since I have 
to drive thousands of miles to get to the PCT, my  planning page includes all 
driving miles also, and all days of time  also. I'm also having to pick up two 
unfinished CA fire closure pieces, so  the summer will be complicated.
     The 1 Jan 09 Western Mountain Snowpack map showed  up today: 
http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/cgibin/westsnow.pl   OR & WA are buried again, so far, but 
it's a long way to spring. I need no  snow in CA, and no more than normal snow 
in OR/WA. Several million Californians  are praying against me though.

I found  a post from last year saying that it wouldn't be open for the 2008  
season.  Yogi's currnent guide just says to check their website (though I  
think she typo'd it).  I've tried their website after googling it and  following 
other references to it and it doesn't load.  So was last years  closure a more 
pernament thing?  Is it available for the 2009  season?  Is this place now no 
longer valid as a resupply maildrop place  and I should delete any mention of 
if from my various guidebooks and pretend  it never existed?  Inquiring minds 
want to know.

I know I don't  need to know until around August,but I would like to finish 
my estimated  supply plan before I leave(Hey, I''m an engineer, we like playing 
with  numbers).  My current supply plan spreadsheet is currently uploaded to  
the Yahoo 2009 PCT group if anyone wants to look at  it.
