[pct-l] Trinity Alps snop

[Edward Anderson]

Pickles is a hiker I know.  Glad to learn that she survived that close call.  
Question:  Did she have an ice axe or just hiking poles?  If you see her again 
please give her my regards.

I am no longer a virgin with regard to the PCT trail.  I walked 5 miles on it 
last weekend and climbed Mt. Eddy.  Just a word to the wise.  The Trinity Alps 
still had a lot of snow on the PCT trail.

I helped Suge and Pickles with transportation yesterday. They had a harrowing 
experience in the Marbles. They recommend ice axe and poles. That's something 
coming from them. Needless to say with our true summer temperatures finally, it 
is melting fast, but for the early thrus do be careful. Pickles took a nasty 
fall of about 100 feet and per their guesstimate, on a 70 degree incline. She 
wrenched her shoulder. That all said, they had a great trip feeling in where the 
fires held them back in '08. Actually I think only Pickles needed to claim that 
mileage.

are we there yet

...going to the mountains is going home.
