[pct-l] AFTER ACTION REPORT - Las Vegas Mountains

[david woods]

I got the impression from his report that he actually carried his gear from
the car to his campsite site instead of just backing up to his tent spot and
dumping it all out of the trunk onto the ground. I think that qualifies it
as a training "hike".

so it was car camping, cleverly hidden.

It will be very very cold when Switchback does serious training beyond
12oz curls :-)

Someplace very warm would have to freeze over first, and I'm not
talking about snow at Scissors Crossing.
