[pct-l] Southern Terminus Drop Off Today

[Stephen Clark]

At this time of year you will often find Border Patrol cruising the fence
line and often see them along the tracks at mile 4 and again on South
Boundary Rd....
I almost always encounter illegals hoping to blend in with the numbers of
PCT hikers between the Border and Lake Morena.
