I believe the Trail Pirating Yo-Yo is planning to Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo the Pantry
to Couch Trail, which can be quite treacherous if one's significant
other is in the habit of keeping the pantry fully stocked and is prone
to moving furniture on a whim.  Anyone who has ever tried to carry a
tray of brewski's and nachos without tripping over an ottoman can tell
you Forrester Pass is relatively easier.  Oh sure it might have more
snow than today's big screens, but you have miles to prepare for the
ascent, whereas one might not even have 3 feet to avoid a coffee table
that shifted from its earlier location.  Even GPS might not help because
of the +/- factor built into them.  Switchback is an inspiration!

Am I interpreting what you wrote correctly?  That you are planning to
Yo-Yo the PCT  TWICE in the same year?  That's like Mexico to Canada and
back to Mexico, then back to Canada and back to Mexico?  All in one
year?  What's your timing on this?  When will you start the hike and how
will you deal with snow in the Sierras if you're planning to hike thru
them before the end of May?  Or at the end of the second Yo-Yo when
you'll be coming back thru them on your way south, if that's like in
November?  All I can say is WOW.  You are crazy!
