[pct-l] continuing the photo question

[CWillett at pierce.ctc.edu (Chris Willett)]

I wouls suspect that the only towns in which this would be viable would be around Agua Dulce (again, with the Saufley's help) and in South Lake Tahoe.  Possibly Ashland.  A lot of thruhikers this year went into Portland, and you could certainly do it there.
