[pct-l] PCT is closed near Stehekin

[David Tamblyn]

Tuesday, 8-4-15:  just got off the PCT (NB) at the closure (jct @ Suittle trail). 6.5 mile hike to trailhead parking area (follows the Suiattle River = lots of water). I hustled and made it in under 2 hrs. 10 cars there @ 0900.  No one present. USFS truck pulled up & I yogi'd a ride with them to Darrington (6 miles south on 530; big market, motel, Bradley's Diner, etc). Road walk from TH lot (day hikers) to Hwy 530 = 21 miles, but several CGs (Bucks Creek @ 10 miles) enroute so good ride possibilities. 
I'm planning to hitch east around the lake to Chelan for ferry to Stehekin where shuttle is running daily and PO is open Mon/Sat. Others are re supplying in Darrington IGA market & heading for the PCT @ Rainy Pass (bypassing Stehekin: very tempting). 

All Day Long

Why?  To experience the moment.  I like to hike.
