[pct-l] severe dehydration danger on the trail

[Timothy Nye]

Au contrare. This is not a new phenomon. In 2009 Chopper required a helicopter rescue from Hauser Creek, hence the name. Since then the creek has been flowing more often than not. In 2010 it was rainy and cold, in 2011 there was a lot of water, but I can't speak for last year since I missed that one. This year was warm to hot during the day at KO . Really luck of the draw as far as weather is concerned. There are so many people hiking each year now that all varieties of hiker behavior are represented at the outset so that there is no 'constant'. IMHO.
