[pct-l] Stehekin Fire Detour

[Tom Grundy]

Thank You for the info as it is available, as straight as possible
from the source(s).  It's a big help to everyone on the list.  Good
luck to you and everyone else up there.

Looks like Jack and crew at PCTA are putting in a lot of effort to
make sure their info is updated too.  Ideally they could post here
whenever they update their page.  Is anyone in touch with them?

The latest, with several posts from Aug 20:
