[pct-l] Mt. Baden Powel

[Chris Anderson]

I'm not sure about the gate being open or not, but right now Baden Powell does not have any snow on it.  But there is a winter storm coming in this weekend.
Here is what is posted.

I'm section hiking this weekend and wanted to confirm a couple things:

   1. Is there any snow on Mt. Baden-Powell?
   2. Is the forest service road off of Lone Pine Canyon Rd. going to
   Gobbler's Knob (mile 356.5) still open (they usually lock the gate next to
   Lone Pine Canyon Rd)?

Happy Trails,
