[pct-l] Ranger Arrival time in the Sierras

[Donna Saufley]

Now that you mention it, it was the 6th of July, since I had come back up
Kersarge Pass after the celebration in Independence on the 5th, and camped
one night at Charlotte Lake, where this ranger was then stationed.   I met
him on his patrol at Glen Pass.  He said that he and the other rangers been
there since mid-June, noting the need for chopper drops because of the snow.
Backcountry rangers rock.

Yes, they had arrived in June.  Their supplies had to be brought in by
helicopter though, as the horse packers couldn’t get in to drop their
supplies as they would in a normal year.

In 2004 we (me and the Killer Bees) hiked with a ranger who was hiking in to
her post from Woods Creek to just north of Pinchot Pass.  She didn't know if
her supplies were coming by horse or air even that year.

That was late June.  Besides the ranger on top of Whitney, she was the first
one we saw.

 

Last year I saw no rangers until after July first, and that was north of
VVR.
