[pct-l] powerhouse fire Location

[Jim Banks]

The fire is to the south west of the trail from approximately trail mile 479
(where the trail crosses San Francisquito Road) to trail mile 487 (where the
trail crosses Lake Hughes Road).  It looks like the fire is currently at
least two miles from the trail as the crow flies. Latest update at 6:00 pm
has it at 2,500 acres with only 15% containment.  Additional evacuations are
being ordered.

As I sit at home due to a stress fracture at the top of my tibia I am still
hiking the trail (in my mind) and learning to use my Android  GPS to better
advantage.

I entered the GPS coordinates and as best I can tell the Powerhouse Fire is
about 1 mile west of mile 435. Is this accurate??

I've noticed that those who know the trail very well refer to places along
the trail by name (Green Valley) and rarely give a mile reference which
would be very helpful to those from other states.
I am as guilty as anyone else in this respect when it come to the trail up
here in WA (Deep Lake = mile 2445)
