[pct-l] Station Fire Question?

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I know how you feel, Mike. What worked for me was to take notes. I  
wrote down the info for detours (turn right here, left there, 10  
miles to this, west on XYZ road for X many miles, whatever). I barely  
ever looked at a map the entire PCT. I wrote the notes in my Data  
Book. You could write notes on the backs of your other maps. People  
will scoff that it's not an arial view, but following directions is  
how those online driving directions work.

Then follow the footprints, trekking pole holes and trekking pole  
squiggles.
