[pct-l] Fall on the PCT

[Jim Keener ( J J )]

Hi Diane,

I took Yannick and Shirley to the Devil's Slide trailhead last week. They said they saw a little snow above 8,000 feet. It has been warmer since then. 

They ran into rain, snow, and wind on Baden Powell before they got to San Jacinto. 

I expect to hear that they will hit Campo before the weekend. 

Walk well,
