[pct-l] Section E Expediton Impressions

[Hiker97 at aol.com (Hiker97@aol.com)]

Several weeks ago when on the big Section E expedition, I noticed a lot of  
dirt bike damage to the trail between Lake Hughes and Hwy. 138.  Not all  parts 
of the trial, but a lot of parts.  The later rain erosions and damage  these 
vehicles do is amazing.  In some places the bike erosion almost made  the 
trail seem impassable.  It wasn't, but you kind of felt that way.
 
I also noticed the fine work of cutting back trail brush that the Trail  
Maintainers do too.  Very nice to walk through heavy brush sections and  have the 
it cut far back from the trail.  Of course, I wanted more PCT  signs.  They 
are always a spirit lifter as you are doing tough campaigning  along the trail.  
A beacon of hope and renewal.  It is like they say,  "You are on course and 
the way is this way.  No problem and you are doing  fine."
 
Well, may be I am delusional too.
