[pct-l] PCT to Lone Pine

[ned at mountaineducation.org]

Just confirm that the road into HM is, indeed, open prior to leaving KM! 
When we got there two years ago, there was still 1 to 2 feet of snow in the 
parking lot (trailhead) and the road was gated both at the base of the hill 
and just below HM, itself.

One long walk to town!

ps. Don't forget that the owners of the DeLaCour Ranch (guest cabins and 
great place to resupply) who own the property at the base of the hill are 
more than happy to help thru hikers with resupplies, trips to town, provide 
a base of operations while repacking packs, etc., so give them a call 
760-264-3213 or www.Delacour-ranch.com !
