[pct-l] Question about Yosemite side trip

[Hernandez]

H-m-m. Haven't heard that one. In fact, Tom Stienstra (SF Chronicle's

available permits, but that this year they had 'improved' the process.
That's the closest attention I've paid.

I heard that if you get a backpacking permit for Yosemite you can kind of
"sneak past" the Half Dome lottery.
