[pct-l] Risk of becoming a trail fatality

Melanie writes: I don't eat sugar so bring me something without sugar;  fresh fruit, since that will be one thing I won't have along the trail, would be nice but I'm not too fussy.  I should be easily pulling in to the area around Julian on May 3rd. if I take off from Lake Moreno on May 1st. (Campo to L.M. on April 29th).

Switchback replies: That will be hard to do.  Switchback is full of sugar and everything nice.  But I will try to find some mega less sugar pastries from the shop in Julian.  I eat breakfast there.  Nice local place.  I sit on their back porch and usually read the newspaper, while I eat breakfast.  I wonder if all this rioting we see in the news will spread to the April Kickoff?  I wonder if I should bring some giant pastries for the Kickoff crew like I did last year?
