[pct-l] poodledog conditions in San Gabriel Mtns

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Poodle Dog is abundant between about 2000' and 5000' elevation. So  
anywhere in the San Gabriels in the vicinity of the Station Fire at  
those elevations is going to be hard to dodge. They did do some  
brushing last spring, but there is no way they got all of it. I had  
to hike like a ninja robbing a bank in a spy thriller much of the time.
