[pct-l] Section H in Washington Trip Report

[chwillet at indiana.edu (Christopher Willett)]

The road walk is actually somewhat pleasant, I think.  The towns are
nice and it is a good change of pace.  
Plus, it is flat. Southern Washington is not exactly a
scenic wonderland, the Goat 
Rocks and maybe the Mt. Adams areas excepted.  I say maybe, because I 
had 3 feet of visibility going through and didn't get a look at Adams
until I was nearing Cispus Pass.  Judging from the fabulous scenery north 
of Panther Creek, I think I may have taken the more scenic route.
