Ruffwork,

What is the earliest date you think someone might start north from Ashland this year?

Walk well,
Jim Keener ( J J )

> KGW News is saying Oregon overall is at 61% of normal, Mt. Hood is at 65% normal.  Mt. Hood would need about 100 inches more snow to hit average and that's highly unlikely in the next 30 days.  Thru hikers will hit a dry Oregon hike: Honeymoon Creek to Windigo Pass will be brutal.  On the up side, you might not get eaten alive by all the bugs if the snowpack melts way early.
