[pct-l] Shroomer Report

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Trailhacker and I went on a killer hike to Santa Paula Peak. There  
was a lot of fog rolling in and out around us, but many of the peaks  
in Ventura County (one county to the west of where Agua Dulce is)  
still have snow. We could see the snowy peaks of the San Gabriels in  
the distance. Wow! Gorgeous, but I'm glad I'm not hiking over there now.
