[pct-l] WA detour questions for Southbounders

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

I'm curious, is it the same log over the Siuattle each year, or has  
there been the good fortune of having a new log in a convenient  
location every year?

If it's the same log, I would read last year's journals. I know for  
several years people on foot were sticking with the main PCT route  
and not having difficulty. I stayed on the main PCT route last year  
and had no difficulty.
