[pct-l] Trinity Alps snop

[Edward Anderson]

In thinking about it I think I might know the exact place where Pickles must 
have fallen. I passed it during my ride in 2008 and had been forewarned about 
it.  I had to tie my horse and climb up to find and clear a detour route well 
above that very steep snow slope.  I then led Primo over and down to the PCT.  
He still had to glissade down the last 15  feet.

Hikers reading this who have not yet come to that spot could find my detour 
route.

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

...going to the mountains is going home.
