[pct-l] San Jacinto Mtns Elev 8492

[Ate Tuna]

That would be a tough choice if I were up there.  I'm not sure if I'd head
down to Idyllwild or over to the Ranger station and its heated bathroom. I
have a light 0°F quilt, but I'd hate being stuck in it all day, so if I took
the latter option, I might be taking the tram down to Palm Springs for some
desert heat after the storm lets up!
