This is not good news for those of us planning a thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail which passes through the heart of the afflicted territory. Of course, hiking is only recreational. Much more importantly, we need to be aware of the drought’s effect on this vast agricultural region.
Thanks for your help spreading the word.
Thanks for using a factual and nonhistrionic approach toward voicing a truly existential threat to humanity. We need every voice of reason possible.
JIm,
When were you planning on hiking the PCT?
2016. This year I’ll be a volunteer ridgerunner in Georgia (March), Colorado Trail (July), and Long Trail (August or September).
Cool. You will be all over the place!
Not sure when I will be on the trail. Just got done with 3 months of foot therapy. Will have to see how it is in April otherwise will have to wait til fall. Had someone tell me to start at Springer, GA in April but I WANT to finish PA!!!!!
You’re almost done with PA. Might as well.
That’s my thought. Right now we are cleaning out from 18 inches of snow in less that 24 hours! Fun!!
Helps you stay in shape! 😀
