[pct-l] Onion Valley/Kearsarge commercial horse resupply

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

This is one of the true gifts of hiking the PCT. The complete  
elimination of that anxiety over going up hills. Sure, sometimes I  
would crest a big mountain and see endless ridges ahead of me and  
know that I was going to hike up and over every single one of them-- 
probably today--and feel a little crestfallen, but then I'd just set  
about doing it and forget all about it.
