[pct-l] Grider Creek dayhike

[losthiker at sisqtel.net (Deems)]

I took a day hike up Grider Creek along the PCT today, which started out 
very cold and frosty. I went up to the first bridge crossing 4 miles up 
stream from the campground.  This wooden bridge and the campground PCT 
bridge were both washed away in the 1997 New Years flood, and the bridges in 
the pics are the replacements.  The shady areas still held some snow from 
this past week's storm, the side creeks had ice on them, and the sunny areas 
were pleasant. I know this local section of the PCT as a great winter low 
elevation hiking area and have rarely ever seen anyone else when hiking it, 
but more than once have seen fresh cougar tracks along it. Here's a few 
photos from the last two hikes I've taken along it.
