I wasn't on that section of trail last year, but judging from the trail

I forgot to finish that thought - I suspect that news of the drowning
death of a (non-PCT) hiker who attempted to ford the Sandy river during
the late August storms probably made people a little more cautious that
they might otherwise have been.
