[pct-l] wildfire concern for 2004

> how (and to what extent) will this year's wildfires affect the trail in
south cali?

Actually, last year's fires had a greater impact on the PCT that this
year's. The Cedar fire in San Diego County burned very little of the trail,
as the PCT in that area burned in LAST year's Pines Fire. See
http://www.4jeffrey.net/hike/pct/fire . I'll have maps of the Cedar fire
there soon (Thanks, Matt.), and plan to check it out in person this week.

The Old fire in the San Bernardino Mountains did have some impact on the
PCT. Donna posted a note from Pete two days ago that about 51 miles of PCT
is closed. There's a suggestion that it may be long term because of a bridge
out, but things do change.

Either way, if this was my year to hike, I would not let this stop me from
enjoying my trip.
