[pct-l] "WIld" with Reese Witherspoon by Chery Strayed

[jplynch]

I've seen it used both ways.  The Sierra Nevada is a
mountain range, singular.  I've that shortened to Sierra
because the reference is to one range, again singular.  So
we don't need to quibble, either form seems to be
appropriate.  Although for me I prefer the plural.
