[pct-l] low point next Memorial Day or July 4?

[ECPG at peoplepc.com (Carolyn Eddy)]

The temporary bridge across the Muddy Fork is usually in by mid May. That's 
your only "river" crossing and it can be worse than the Sandy.
On an average year that whole stretch is passable by mid May but on a bad 
year you can have snow at some of the highest elevation like Benson Plateau 
till mid-June.

Theis is assuming you are using the "new" )now official) route that goes 
over Bald Mountain and not the old one that goes around the face  down into 
the head of the Muddy Fork. This is pretty well abandoned to the day hikers 
and can have treacherous crossings any time in the summer, depending on the 
rainfall that week.

You will have plenty of rain and mud in May and June.
