[pct-l] Sierras twice

[ned at pacificcrestcustombuilders.com]

Obviously, I love the sierras covered in Spring snow as we teach how to be 
safe in it. However, when I hiked the Crest, I went through in the months of 
April and May, although I enjoyed it immensely, I wanted to see what it 
looked like under "summer" conditions, so I returned from Manning to Tioga 
to head southbound to Whitney. Both are incredible, never forgotten, and 
worth a return visit!
