[pct-l] SB Section hike-Mckenzie Pass to Hwy 140 Fish Lake

[Jeffrey Olson]

You can get off the train in Eugene, and take the bus to Sisters

You can hitch the 40 or so miles from Fish Lake or Lake of the Woods 
into Klamath Falls on Hwy 140 - there's a decent amount of traffic.

Mosquitos are terrible until the first hard freeze, and can be miserable 
through August if it's a high snow year.  AFter Labor Day you'll miss 
the PCT hiker herd and families with kids will be back in school.

Need a diversion from politics so am planning my 2017 southbound section 
hike: McKenzie Pass (1981.3) to Fish Lake (1770.9).

I can go whenever-opinions as to the best time of year? I will be using 
the train to get to the trailhead and return home. I can get off at the 
Amtrak Station in Chemult or Eugene and will hitch or look for other 
transportation to McKenzie. I assume Eugene will provide more 
options-right?

Finally, is a hitch from the trailhead at Hwy 140 to Klamath Falls 
feasible, i.e. sufficient traffic to catch a lift? Thanks. Herb _
