[pct-l] SoCal Rain

[Pete]

There actually are lots. We started March 8 vs 7 due to rain etc. We left mile 26 this morning via a ride to get into Mt Laguna before this storm here started which btw has huge winds as well. We had to redo gear anyway so will wait out this one and maybe the next one on Monday then ride back to mile 26 and come back. We are for sure keeping eyes on weather all the time
