We had success hitching into Trout Lake on 23 despite the fact that the closure seems to have really reduced traffic on this route. The locals seem generally aware of the trail, and everyone in town is quite friendly. High marks to the Trout Lake B&B and the super friendly proprietor, Kelly, by the way. Cheap rates, great tunes, and the nicest hot-tub I saw on the trail. The store was OK, maybe comparable to the Sierra City store (and they have huckleberries up the yin-yang).

Hi Deems,<br>In September I drove Forest Road 23 from Trout Lake to the PCT. North of<br>where the PCT crosses Road 23 there is a closure due to a washout about 1<br>mile north of the junction with Road 90. For anyone planning to hitch from
<br>the PCT at Road 23 to Trout Lake there should be no problem.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Roger Carpenter<br></font><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br><br>> -----Original Message-----<br>> From: <a href="mailto:pct-l-bounces@backcountry.net">
