[pct-l] PCT elevation gain on the increase

[blisterfree@surfree.com (Brett Tucker)]

"A bulge in the earth's crust has developed near Three Sisters, a trio of
volcanoes at the center of the Cascade Range, 25 miles west of Bend, Ore.
Geologists wonder whether the 4-inch-high bulge could presage a volcanic
eruption."

Consulting the Guidebook maps, I see that the PCT appears to run straight
through the area in question: a 10 mile radius in the vicinity of Separation
Creek's headwaters and a prominent feature called The Husband. Fortune might
favor the higher mileage hiker in this section - choose those stealth camps
carefully.
