[pct-l] Fwd: from PCT section hiker who needs help



One Gallon is the only hiker I am aware of that was headed that way.  He left our place going south last week.  However, he was attempting to get to the ADZ, and may have skipped these snowy regions.  No one else I am aware of has tried to get through.

Greg and Monty-

I know someone was going to go over Fuller ridge, but that woon't help
anyone doing Mt. Baden Powell in Section D. Does any one know of any hikers
going through the latter section?

Thanks Jo
