Hi I believe we in so cal are just sitting back waiting for spring, we want
to go hiking now but the rain and snow have us at a stand still. Yes we are
breaking records and you would think the draught  would be over, but like
before the weather people will say we need a few years of this. With the
high snow pack and the lakes going over their dams you would think we have
enough to last forever but we still need more. I'm looking at buying snow
gear just to be able to get out and hike but then its nice and warm in the
house. Waiting out the five day weekend storms here in Murrieta.     "Be

>    From the very first pieces of trail literature I came across as I
prepared myself to travel west and attempt a hike of the Pacific Crest Trail
I was ' deluged ' with description after vivid description as to / on the ,
arid - desert like conditions therein in it ' s southern most regions : the
6 year drought , the low annual rainfall figures , the empty - low
reservoirs / the Colorado River drainage being drained ; my first extremely
hot days at Bob Reiss ' s house in San Diego - the harsh view below from the
aircraft as we flew west over my future path north .

I would most expect to see such ..
