[pct-l] trail conditions - low elevation O/P

[David Hough reading PCT-L]

I'm looking for a few low-elevation days for the coming hot weekend,
where I haven't been recently,
and where I can avoid steep snow slopes and raging torrents.

Section O/P looks good to me, in particular the part from McCloud River
to Castle Crags Dog Trail... altitudes 2000-5000', plenty of water
and shade.      Plenty of poison oak, and probably mosquitos
and down trees too.

The oft-maligned Section O has its points of attraction.
When I did this part over July 4 in 2005, a normal snow year, it was fine
except for some anxious snow slopes west of Mushroom Rock.

I'm not going to try that this year, though I'd have liked to connect with
my northernmost point a few years ago at Peavine Creek.

There doesn't seem to be any 2017 O/P information at pcta.org
or pctwater.com.     Anybody have any current local info?
It's too early for through-hikers.

I also thought about Quincy-LaPorte Rd to Belden, which goes low over
the Feather River but also up to nearly 7000' which I suspect would be
pretty snowy still.

I've done Hat Creek Rim recently, but it would be a good option otherwise.
