[pct-l] KM to Trail pass to KM

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

FYI I think the name of the road to Kennedy Meadows is "9 Mile Road".  
The CREST bus will stop there if you ask but you might have to ask in  
advance, not sure. After that, it's a hitchhike and there is a fork  
in the road somewhere.
