[pct-l] Sierra mileage

[Vermilion Valley Resort]

And don't forget - everyone will help you.  EVERYONE.  From your fellow 
hikers, to trail angels, to folks like the employees at VVR, and even 
the folks at Tuolumne.

It may be YOUR first time, but we've been doing it for years.  I know 
it's easy to think you're all alone when you're out in the middle of 
that snowpack - but you're not.

And as Diane says, if you're in the middle of the pack, you're golden.  
And she's got a really good point - if the snow's too bad, you just skip 
the snow!
