[pct-l] Golden Oak Spring Status

[Donna Saufley]

I'd suggest that you work with Suzanne Wilson, the PCTA trail manager for
the first 700+ miles of the PCT. It's her job to interact with the various
agencies with responsibilities for the land the PCT passes through.  I've
copied her on this thread.
