>>Let' see...
>>(totally paraphrasing here...)

>>I'm confirming to you with this communication of the PCT (I assume she
>>means "by this e-mail to the PCT-L), that trying to cross the Sierra
>>Nevada from KM so early in the year presents a great risk. I have made
>>(hiked) the PCT in it's entirety...and something about doing this with
>>difficulty during summer storms.. in April of 2005 close to San J which
>>was (could be?) dangerous without a GPS and something about not having
>>experience of mountains in the winter. She knows about someone who hiked
>>the Sierra in May named Skeaky...who did this with exceptional "energy and
>>determination"...arriving at VVR from KM after loosing 5 kilos of
>>weight... When snow covers the way, it's impossible without a GPS...she
>>acknowledges Donovan's death in the San J's due to too much snow and bad
>>decisions...finding his body in May 2006. She doesn't want t o alarm us,
>>but this is the same 11 ...something (couloir?)... passes to KM.. when the
>>snow covers the way it's impossible without a GPS
>>
>>Wait- she's repeating herself! Again with Donovan...
>>
>>Then....
>>
>>At the high passes, like Forrester, in the high altitudes the smallest
>>snowstorm can turn into a catastrophe. Do not hesitate to contact me for
>>other questions.
>>
>>
>>I can't believe I remember the lessons! I had such a schoolboy crush on
>>that French teacher! Plus she was the high school Backpacking Club
>>advisor! Miss Teaverbaugh *sigh*
>>
>>Damn, French even sounds sexy when read!
