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

[Richard Brinkman]

I have never met Paint Your Wagon, but I would like to say I know him.  Paint was instrumental in my knowing when to apply for my permit in 2015, as we were all watching, and he sent updates on when the permits could be applied for.  We stayed in touch, and he asked me if I got my permit.  Very much appreciated Paint...  He also sent a video of a guy flying off a cliff to music just before I started my 2015 hike.  While I would never consider such a thing, it sent the message of "yes, I am going to do this."  I used that song among others to make my PCT slideshow.

Many thanks again Paint,

Roadwalker, 2015

Thought I'd let you know that you were being discussed at Mt. Laguna store two weeks ago. 
"I don't remember names or faces very well, but some are unforgettable. Have you guys ever met Paint Yer Wagon"
