[pct-l] Pictures from my hike last May near Big Bear

I uploaded my pictures from last May when I hiked between Highway 18  
and Swarthout Canyon Road near Big Bear/Cajon Pass last May. For  
those worried about the desert, here's what the desert actually looks  
like. You never know what you will get. In 2008 when I hiked through  
here it was very pleasant in the trees but once I dropped out into  
the Deep Creek area, it was around 100 degrees. It was tolerable  
though because there were little side creeks and I would just wet  
down my long-sleeved desert shirt and hat and keep walking. The  
evening was nice and balmy. This year it was raining and snowing and  
I risked hypothermia. Both times the wind around Cajon Pass was so  
violent I could barely stand up!
