[pct-l] Food question from Mid life Crisis

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

The San Rafael Wilderness is my neck of the woods!

What's your itinerary? Depending on where you are in the San Rafael,  
10 miles can be equivalent to a 20 mile day on the PCT.

What are you eating for 66 cents per calorie?
