[pct-l] Problems at the Highway 36 hiker cache

[Meridith Rosendahl]

Someone has been taking advantage of the PCT Thru-hiker cache, taking 
sodas and snacks meant for long distance hikers.  So for the time being 
I will be bringing snacks and sodas with me to the trail ONLY when a 
thru-hiker calls or when I visit the trail during the day. This means 
that only water (and the hiker box) will be available for thru-hikers, 
at least until there are more hikers coming through.  I am terribly 
sorry about this, but I cannot put out food and drinks meant for hikers 
and have them consumed by non-hikers.

When a bona-fide long distance hiker calls me, or when I visit the trail 
during the day, I'll bring refreshments with me.

Ishmael, Furniture and Rally came through this morning.  They are the 
first NOBOs I've met who have slogged through the entire trail without 
detouring because of the snow in the high sierras.  They report that the 
snow has nearly all melted from Belden to Chester, with only about a 
quarter mile of navigable snow remaining.
