[pct-l] report from Dunsmuir

[David Hough reading PCT-L]

I didn't notice any obvious through hikers walking the streets of 
Dunsmuir today in 90+ heat.    There was one guy with a pack hitching south
near the freeway.
If there were any others, they might have had
a pretty smokey time in section O.   P and Q ahead look clear of smoke
for the time being.    Brush and logs are definitely an issue in Grider
Canyon and perhaps elsewhere.

They might have been disappointed.    The brewpub is supposed to be open
unil at least 7pm, 5 days a week, but after arranging to be there today -
they were closed Mon-Thurs this week only.     The Burger Barn is closed
Thursdays, too.   The Pizza Factory, with a few craft brews on tap,
and La Perla Mexican were open.

The Dunsmuir Lodge was functional enough but 
a bit expensive by pre-covid standards for hikers,
and shares many common faults with other older
lodgings - not enough electrical outlets, not enough grounded electrical
outlets.    Today some people might have wished for a swimming pool.
