[pct-l] Trinity Alps snop

[jomike at cot.net]

I am no longer a virgin with regard to the PCT trail.  I walked 5 miles on it last weekend and climbed Mt. Eddy.  Just a word to the wise.  The Trinity Alps still had a lot of snow on the PCT trail.

I helped Suge and Pickles with transportation yesterday. They had a harrowing experience in the Marbles. They recommend ice axe and poles. That's something coming from them. Needless to say with our true summer temperatures finally, it is melting fast, but for the early thrus do be careful. Pickles took a nasty fall of about 100 feet and per their guesstimate, on a 70 degree incline. She wrenched her shoulder. That all said, they had a great trip feeling in where the fires held them back in '08. Actually I think only Pickles needed to claim that mileage.

are we there yet
