Re: Amazing SAR story on NWH
I did that part of the PCT on my thru hike in November and experienced very harsh weather. I made sure to camp low each night.

Re: The Death of Anna Schmidt
Geocachers have used that parking spot for years. We got a warning from the Oregon Highway Patrol that pulling off the left-hand side of a freeway is unlawful and cars parked at that location could be ticketed.

Re: Eliot Branch Crossing Status (see last post for update)
Jerry, it was a signed reroute of the Timberline Trail prior to the 2006 washout. That's why the trail closed signs were in place.retired jerry wrote:The old "trail" was never an official trail

Re: junky little table on the summit
I agree 100%.

Re: Is the Loowit Trail doable in 2 days?
The Loowit is totally doable in 2 days. Starting at Monitor Ridge is also a great option.

Re: Anyone completed Mt. Adams Round-the-Mountain xc section
In pretty sure its closed. Anyways, its pretty easy to figure out the trailless section. Sunrise camp below the Mazama Glacier - Klickitat Glacier - cross the Big Muddy - Avalanche Valley.
