[pct-l] April 1st Sierra Snow Conditions

[Trekker4 at aol.com]

A book I read, A Dangerous Place, states that the  normal flow of the Los 
Angeles River would only support a population of 250,000.  That's why LA has been 
stealing water going back to the Jack Nicholson days  (Chinatown). 
    The book also discusses the stupendous,  instantaneous effect of a big 
quake anywhere from the Sacramento Delta to  LA on those conduits of that stolen 
water, the LA & CA Aqueducts. The damage  might take up to a month to repair. 
You hikers that live in CA know how to dig  catholes and have water filters, 
so you'll get by. I won't even get into the  other things you'd have to deal 
with.
    Mountain and river water, and cat holes, are on  topic. So, no complaints 
about being off topic, please.

It's good  news for northbound thru-hikers which was the only point.

Not in  context of a thru-hike or this list, *southern* California is over  
populated and over developed. It's not a question of climate or snowpack,  
it's a matter of excessive demand on available resources. Self-inflicted  
drought is a human problem not one of  nature.
