[pct-l] Deep Creek Detour

[AsABat]

The official answer is you may be able to get across it fine, but when the next 300 hikers go across it may well cause the entire thing to slide and making even more work for the trail crews.  As it is, they are going to have to do some engineering to rebuild the trail there.
