[pct-l] Latest San Jacinto Photos

[David Ellzey]

Great photos, thanks.

According to the forecasts, next week is supposed to be damp as well. I am always dubious of the forecasts this far out but it does show the possibility of another storm system moving through, possibly dumping even more snow in the SoCal mountains.

I have tentative plans to hike from Paradise Café/Hwy 74 (mile 152) to the Deer Springs Trailhead (would exit PCT at mile 183) starting April 30th. I will return with a report and photos the following Monday. 

Unfortunately I do not have enough time to check out Fullers Ridge but I understand that Ned will be holding a Snow Skill Course up in that area during the same timeframe so between our 2 reports there should be some good information for the thrus.

I took these photos on Sunday 4/11/10 and Tuesday 4/13/10 as we climbed through 32,000 feet eastbound.  As you may know, a late season storm passed through Southern California last Sunday night, dropping some snow on the PCT.

I tried to work in Google Earth to get identical images of the PCT trace, so that you may flip back and forth from "real world" to Google World with trace.  Anybody have "boots on the ground" photos?
