[pct-l] Guffy Campground to Blue Ridge Campground

[dhstein31 at yahoo.com (Duane Steiner)]

On Saturday I hiked up the Acorn Trail and then up Pine, Dawson and Baldy and then down to Baldy Village and did not need crampons except on the North side of Pine and Baldy.  When looking back I thought the blue ridge looked  pretty clear.  I was feeling bad because I had recommended to four lady section hikers to avoid the area if they do not want snow.  I guess I was more WRIGHT than WRONG.

As of yesterday, the trail between Guffy and Blue Ridge Campgrounds was 
covered, in areas, with icy snow. It was difficult to cross without crampons and 
took our group 2 hours to go .8 mile (could be that these girls ranged in age 
between 7th and 10th grade). Also the slide area just north of Acorn Canyon 
Trail before you get to Guffy has a patch of icy snow. This is the area where 
the Sierra Club hiker fell. Water is still off at the pipes at Grassy Hollow 
Visitor Center, however the bathrooms at the visitor center had cold water in 
their faucets.
