[pct-l] Hidden Secrets of Lone Pine

[dsaufley at sprynet.com]

The trippiest experience was doing my laundry at the Chevron/Subway.  Not to mention the outstanding meal we had (definitely not thru-hiker priced) at the rather nondescript place on 395 (I think it's the "Sierra" or something).  Excellent cocktails and fine dining menu.  L-Rod
