[pct-l] Fwd: Pacific Crest Trail Kick-off

[Greg Hummel]

Thru-hikers and section hikers on section A should be aware that trains are more frequent on weekends near Campo. See below. If you've never been to the train museum in Campo, it's worth a visit.


Happy trails,


Greg Hummel






Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles 
What makes you think you're something special when you smile?

Greg,

I was informed today by one of your volunteers about the Kick-Off 
event.  I am sure you know the trail crosses the old San Diego & Arizona 
railway just west of Campo.  We are operating trains out of Campo every 
Saturday and Sunday this time of year.  I just want to make sure your 
participants that will be hiking the train out of the southern terminus 
will be aware of the railroad and that they quite likely will see a 
train at the crossing. Each day we are expecting 10 separate movements 
over the crossing, and would like to make sure everything is done as 
safely as possible.  We put safety as a top priority!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask,
