[pct-l] Islip Saddle heads up

[Wes Rose]

2009 PCT Hikers,

I've noticed over the past few years that some hikers seem to get lost at
a particular road crossing in section D of California, at the base of Mt. 
Williamson at the Islip Saddle, which by my count is the 3rd crossing of
the hwy, just past Little Jimmy Campground.  The coordinates are:
34°21'25.30"N 117°51'6.15"W.

A quick examination of the topo map, zoomed in, shows why... there is
a north bound *descending* trail, but the PCT ascends WNW towards Mt.
Williamson.  Who knows, this just might save you a few hours of wasted
time.  : )   A link to a topo:

Best success!!
