[pct-l] storm in PNW hitting late hikers

[Diarmaid Harmon]

My buddy and I bailed out of a 3 day trip this weekend when the storm hit the Badger Creek wilderness area, usually well protected from the brunt of the storms by being in the rain shadow of Mt Hood. The Howling wind and lashing rain made for a miserable experience. I can only imagine what it was like on the west side of the mountain where the PCT is.
