[pct-l] When was the last fire in the Deep Creek/Holcomb Creek area

[gschenk1 at roadrunner.com]

Hi Rob,

I hiked that section with some friends last April. It was pretty devastated by that fire. We were on the PCT, so I didn't pay attention to the brush. It was thick around Holcomb Creek though. We had to push through it to avoid some logging, and it was slow going. But that was at the creek.

Last October we did some cross country around Pine Flats and had no issues. We did Hawes and Shay, etc. and had no problems, but didn't try for Deer, as I have no desire to EVER go back to that mountain. Not much help, huh?

Good luck.
Gary
