[pct-l] Rough dates NOBO Seiad Valley

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good afternoon, Doug,

It's still early for 2012 planning, but I recommend you try to time your
arrival at Cascade Locks to coincide with the annual PCT Days.  I don’t have
a date(s) for the 2012 event, but copied below is the announcement for 2010,
and I expect it will be held on a weekend close to the same date in 2012.



Enjoy your planning,



Steel-Eye
