One more thing for you past and future thru hikers to worry about: San
Joaquin Valley Fever. When the wind comes as screaming northerly through
the Tehachipi Mountains, blowing you off your feet, it is carrying dust
from the San Joaquin Valley.

(BTW: I test positive for the disease, but that was well before I hiked the
PCT. I was exposed growing up in the CA desert.)
