[pct-l] Fall on the PCT

[Donna "L-Rod" Saufley]

The Liebres are snow free right now. Snow is generally not the issue through the Sawmills and Liebre's, it's wind.  We've had howling Santa Ana winds every day for the past four days.  This morning it's finally still . . . hoping it lasts long enough to enjoy the sunshine.
