[pct-l] Station Fire

[Marion]

I don't know about the Los Padres closure, but I do recall the Butler 
Fire closure.  It was in Section C affecting about 14 miles of trail near
Crab Flats.  We were involved in trail work in section C, and were told 
by the Forest Supervisor that the affected PCT segment would be closed 
for two years.  However, the forest crew got the work done quickly and 
it was closed for only a few months.  Anyone who has hiked through the 
Butler Fire area (we did this year) has seen the astounding number of 
burnt trees that were felled along the PCT to make it safe for use.
That closure affected one class of thru hikers.
