[pct-l] Desolation Wilderness in late September?

[ned at pacificcrestcustombuilders.com]

Basically, Will, prepare for all conditions. You may encounter warm and 
clear days with a mild to cold wind blowing through the granite bowls of 
Desolation. It is likely that the average temperatures will be lower than 
those of summer and a little windier, too. The nights can easily be in the 
30s. Your canteens may freeze at night. Thunderstorms may still be happening 
and you might see some snow...
