[pct-l] SOBO

[Bob Bankhead]

It doesn't look good for right now, Jerry.

This was just taken from the Methow Valley Ranger District's road report
dated 6/26/12 for the Harts Pass Road:
http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/okawen/alerts-notices/?cid=stelprdb5368188

"Snow accumulation 2.5 miles beyond Cache Creek then road mostly snow
covered. One edge of the road is melted and people are using it as a hiking
trail. (33" of snow at Hart's Pass)	6/26/12"

Contact the Methow Valley Ranger Station in Winthrop at 509-996-4003 for
up-dates.

Hi Jerry,
 
I suggest that you call the Mazama Store (509) 996 - 2855. They would
probably know, if not, they could tell you who would. There is a small
Ranger Station at Harts Pass with a summer resident Ranger who is in charge
of that campground. There is a small parking area across from the Ranger
Station. Perhaps you could park there. The road is very narrow and twisty in
places but I assume that it will have been cleared of snow by now. Trailers
are not allowed. I had to leave mine in Mazama and drive up. I cached my
resupplies at the Ranger Station. I  had also cached at Rainy Pass. I
hitched back to Primo where I had left him in Plain, Washington, east of
Stevens Pass. Took five rides - the last gave me three nice fresh-caught
trout!

I guess the most logical thing to do now is a SOBO. Does anyone know if the
road to the campground at Harts Pass is passable by a passenger car>
