[pct-l] Oregon section hike

[Saskia Daru]

Hi Zach,

We hiked the PCT from Willamette Pass to (I think) MacKenzie Highway  
in 2001. It was a wonderful hike, but we did have trouble with bugs.  
So check out the season before you go! It is not as spectacular as  
the Sierra but the red top of the Sisters were very special. I fondly  
remember the lakes, such as Cliff Lake. I remember spending a  
wonderful July 4 at Irish Lake campground. And the Wickiup Planes are  
unique If you want to see pictures, check out www.xs4all.nl/~darudiva.

Have a great time.

Saskia
