[pct-l] new route north from Snoqualmie Pass.

Eric, 



I don't have any first-hand current knowledge about this area, but I will say that the section just north of Snowqulmie Pass along the PCT (from Snowqualmie to the big waterfall just south of Escondido Ridge) was one of the most spectacular parts of the entire trail.  Spectacle Lake may just be the pertiest little lake on the entire PCT.  If the trail wasn't close due to fire re-route, there is no way I would recommend missing this section.

I don't know what the burned out area looked like, but this was a treat. 
Several really good camp sites too.

I haven't been up there since the fire in that area last summer, but my 
understanding is that it wasn't a large or vigorous fire; it was just very 
close to the trail so a section of it was closed while it burned.  I don't 
think there's any particular reason to use Gadget's route this year unless 
you just want to.  Anyone who has more first-hand knowledge - feel free to 
correct me.
