[pct-l] I.E. portion of Pacific Crest Trail revamped

[Jim Banks]

Or else the bridges were not on the PCT, maybe at the Whitewater Preserve.

Just another case of poor factual reporting by news agencies.  Obviously the
bridges were not in the Whitewater area.  Also on the 15 second segment that
was actually on the TV, the newscaster verbally referred to the trail as the
Pacific "Coast" Trail.

Quick question, what bridges are there in the White water that needed
repairing?  Was I so delusional by the heat that I walked past them in 2009?
Or perhaps I missed seeing them as I hiked on as twilight fell?
