[pct-l] Camping south of Tehachapi

[Tortoise]

Since we're picking at this nit, sierra is Spanish for mountain range or mountain chain. Nevada translates as snowfall or snowstorm.  Thus "Sierra Mountains" is "mountain range mountains". 

I live in the San Francisco Bay area for 30 years. Often I heard people refer to the Sierra Nevada as the Sierras.

All for now. Happy trails.
