[pct-l] Campo to Wrightwood

Richard!

You're 4 weeks from blast-off. It's still snowing on high elevations in
California. After it stops, freeze-thaw cycles will cause it to turn into
ice (or at least very crusty). 

Where will you first hit snow/ice? Probably San Jacinto/Fuller Ridge. Mail
your steep snow gear to Idyllwild and keep it from there on. This year you
will probably have snow, either solid or patches, all the way to Canada (I
did in 1974).

Make sense?

Starting trail on April 3rd.  Based on projected weather will I need micro
spikes to get through snow / ice conditions for the section of trail to
Wrightwood.  If yes, where should I mail smiles to for pickup.
