[pct-l] Trail Conditions and Snow report for Jefferson Park in Oregon

[mattjolley at comcast.net]

 Does anyone have better information on trail conditions in Jefferson Park and at Breitenbush Lk PCT trailhead?

 Willamette NF  Detroit district is reporting 7/24  snow and ice over 5000 ft. and verbally reported
 that a hiker reported 7/22 that Jefferson park was 80 percent covered in 2 to 3 feet of snow.

  And Mt. Hood Clackamas district does not have any info on south rd. to Breitenbush Lake, 
  although the gate is believed to be open.
