[pct-l] Oregon sections F and G

[Steve Stenkamp]

Mckenzie Pass although plowed from the East is  not scheduled to be open 
for vehicle traffic until at least the 4th of July.  I did a check last 
weekend on a stretch of the PCT south of McKenzie Pass and there was still 
2-4 feet of snow.  I think you shoulld hike with the assumption of running 
into some snow well into the end of July.  The mountain passes had fresh 
snow on Tuesday morning 6-15.   This is a slow snow melting spring.
