[pct-l] Oregon questions



Good afternoon, Judson,

Thanks for the recollection.  I don't remember the little pond, but I see it
on TOPO. If I really zoom in on the map I think I can see a frog sitting on
the bank.  The pond appears to be 2.39 miles from Windigo Pass and maybe 125
yds WSW of the PCT.  The eastern edge of the pond is at 10T576246mE
4803708mN.   That location of the pond is probably pretty close but I can't
make any guarantees about the representation of the PCT.  Being so close to
the trail, I think I would have a look at it as I passed.
