[pct-l] Hyatt lake to Mazama Village trip report

[Michael Irving]

I assume you meant "1809B" (rather than 1909).  Did you look at Jack Spring
at 1817?  I'll be through there in a couple weeks and was wondering if that
was dry yet.  It's off-trail so I'm curious if you or anyone else has been
down there to check recently.

Thanks,
