[pct-l] PCT is closed near Stehekin

All Day Long,
 
By hitching E to Chelan, do you mean N then E over Rainy Pass, or S  then E 
over Stevens Pass?

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.
