[pct-l] Stehekin fire detour question

[Trekker4 at aol.com]

The fire won't be out anytime soon; even if it was out today, they  have 
cleanup to do; and then someone has to walk through to see if the trail is  
"safe" to hike. That will be weeks; that closure won't reopen until Sep-Oct at 
 the earliest I'd guess.

How long  do you think this fire closure will be?  Will it still be in 
effect  
next year?  Also, what are the options with a horse?  Just go  around and 
pick up the trail further up?
Golly
