[pct-l] San Felipe Hills/San Diego Section

[thebeave7 at hotmail.com (eric lee)]

I went for a long run in the San Felipe Hills on Friday March 17th. Weather 
was cool and cloudy all day long(mid-high 40s). The trail was really 
quiet(only saw 2 people) and in great shape, never had an issue following 
the trail. I made it about 11.5miles in, short of the third gate, and saw no 
water anywhere. There were two tiny snow patches approx 10miles in, but they 
won't last. I didn't see any water flowing underneith highway 78 at Scissor 
crossing.
On Friday the snow in the Lagunas and around Granite Peak was down to around 
4000-4500ft with solid coverage at 5000ft. The snow looked to start a little 
higher up on Combs Peak, but still pretty good coverage. We also just hand 
another cold front come through the San Diego area, which dropped an inch or 
so of rain in the main city(even hailed for 25min last night Sat 18th). This 
all means we got more snow in the Lagunas and Combs Peak sections of the 
PCT, maybe even a little in the San Felipes. I plan on heading back there 
next Friday, so I'll let everyone know how it looks, and try to remember to 
bring my camera. Happy hiking to all.
