[pct-l] Lake Morena to Hwy. 94

Donna,  Great for you and the Girls.....

Your email just made a positive approach for Hiking to me. We have been
reading a lot of negativity and conjecture since all the bad storms in
California and maybe it will mean skipping ahead and coming back in the fall
to do what might be impossible right now. I did that same kind of a hike
last August here in the Sawtooths of Idaho when the rains came.  I straddled
a trail that had turned into a creek and then sometimes just walked in the
water, what a great experience for the girls and did I relate to them.
Great job girls and I hope some of that water is still flowing come May.

I think Yogi put it right for me.  Every year the PCT is different and if
that is you're your year then that is your PCT hike.

Planning in my mind, but will not ready to mail out resupply parcels until I
know the facts.
Cheers,

I just came back from taking 18 Girl Scouts (ages 12-17) hiking from Lake 
Morena to Hwy. 94 (yes, we went N-S).  LOTS of water.  We saw at least 6 
waterfalls on the trail, had to cross about 8 water/stream crossings, and
part of the 
trail was a flowing creek that you had to straddle as you walked.  It was 
GREAT.  It was a very long day for the girls (they didn't get done until
7:00 
p.m.) but taking the group picture at the terminus made it all worth while.
Next 
month they are going from Stephenson Peak to Boulder Oaks if the Lake 
Silverwood to I-15 doesn't look very promising due to weather conditions.
