I just got back from the Goat Rocks portion of the Washington PCT.  I ran
into two German? guys who started the trail in late April (29th I think).
I don't remember their names.  There wasn't a lot of snow on the crest,
but Goat Lake was still frozen over.

And how about the rhodendendrons.  When I walked through northern Oregon
north facing slopes had miles of 20' tall rhodys in wonderful bloom!!!
