[pct-l] BIG SNOW/Problems for 2005 PCT hikers.

[pct2005 at hotmail.com (Jason Waicunas)]

If the level of precipitation continues to fall in CA, how much of a delay 
should 2005 PCT thru-hikers consider before attempting to trek through the 
Sierra's?  Also, won't a "heavy snow year" cause wash-out's of trail 
sections and make fording streams much more dangerous?  Could this continued 
weather pattern push the AZDPCTKO to a later date?  If hikers are planning 
on catching a ride from the kick-off to Mexico and begin their hike around 
April 24, will they have to sit around for weeks before trying to hike the 
Sierra's after completing the SoCal desert section?
Thanks,
-Jason Waicunas
