[pct-l] Northern Washington Fires

[NeffJ@email.msn.com (JohnFayeNeff)]

The fires are a long ways away from the trail (about 15 miles).  Would
recommend calling ranger station in Winthrop before going however to check
status at that time.  Last year they told me up to the morning that I was
leaving that the area in Montana that I was going to was open,then as we
were loading to leave, I called one last time and they said it was
closed.Also recommend that you carry food that may not need to be cooked in
case they say no open flames, which includes stoves.  There is already no
campfires.
Happy hiking!
