[pct-l] Pacific Crest Trail Snow & Ford Report - Woods Creek Bridge is NOT down

[Paint YW]

Greetings hiking aficionados- near and far,

Good news!

According to the latest field report...

H6 799.8 8,532 Woods Creek Suspension Bridge 5/28/17

(Grizz & Lovely Heart via inReach sent from Woods Creek at 8:14pm):
Suspension bridge at mile 799.7 is intact, not damaged, and perfectly
passable.-----

I was advised by the SEKI visitor center that there are two damaged
backcountry bridges in the Rae Lakes Loop area. The first crosses the South
Fork of the King’s River in Upper Paradise Valley, and the second (most
relevant to PCT and JMT hikers) crosses Woods Creek at the Woods
Creek/JMTPCT trail junction. The first closure is mentioned on the SEKI
trail conditions web page, but the second is not yet posted-I assume they
will update this status soon. There will apparently be efforts to
helicopter in temporary bridges and/or repair materials for both crossings,
but there was no timeline given for this work. The office stressed that
both crossings were very hazardous to cross without the bridge and
cautioned not to attempt a ford or a crossing on the remnants of the
damaged bridges. 5/28/17 Grizz & Lovely Heart
