We're being escorted through one of the fires along the PCT 2012. Point of origin less than 20 feet from trail. They don't think it was from a PCTer, but from lightening, and we've had lots of lightening. But, given all the signs I've seen of inappropriate camping behavior and the general lack of knowledge regarding wilderness camping do's and dont's I have concerns. Lightening or no lightening, both the trail and the hikers would benefit from better outdoor preparation. 15 miles.

Leave no Trace educates people about good outdoor ethics, and is a fabulous group to support. Also the Pacific Crest Trail Association helps with education, plus assists trail users by posting up-to-date trail fire conditions.
And, as a reminder, I urge you to support Heart on the Trail. In my last couple months of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail I'm wanting to give back to the Pacific Trail Association and The American Heart Association. Two organizations close to my heart! I'm drawing hearts on the trail to raise money for both groups.
