[calliger at infolane.com (Richard)]

There is about 6-8 feet snow at the Pass as of yesterday 6 June
when I cached the resupply for PCT Hiker Lynn...

there should be quite a few hiking that section currently. Just looking for
an update on the conditions that they ended up facing.  I talked to a couple
of hikers that had gotten to Kennedy meadows on Wednesday June 4th that
decided not to cross because they didn't want to deal with the snow, and
heard that others had grouped up to head through and chop steps.  I began in
Campo on may 23rd and hiked about a hundred miles, then decided that the
heat wasn't for me.  I'd like to begin again at Kennedy meadows when the
snow has subsided enough, or has it already?  What about shoes.  What kind
of shoes are people wearing that would be crossing that section at this
time.  Are running shoes good enough or will they just not cut it?
