What does happen to the PCT in California?
That's a good question.
With the current budget crisis in California, many of the states programs are
taking a hit. One of those programs is the California Conservation Corp.
Visit the Save CCC Website:

As you know these folks do a tremendous amount of work on the PCT as
well as many other trails. Corpies *love* poison oak! :)
Half of the CCC's centers have been closed due to Davis' inability
to add. This includes Butte Fire Center, a place where younggins could get
their 'Red Card' for firefighting. It's gone.
Another center that's on the block is Del Norte Center in Klamath, at the mouth
of the Klamath river on the California coast. Due to close in January '04, gone.
The Sequioa Center is also on the block. Closed, forever because Davis' can't add.
Your help is greatly needed. The CCC has been there for us, now we need to be
there for them.
A massive, well coordinated effort is underway to save these centers. Please visit
the following website to see what contribution you can make.
