[pct-l] Section Hiking between California Highway 58 and Jawbone Canyon Road

[Gary Schenk]

The LW and I hiked that section in the first week of April. No bears! But
it was a tough section, we carried a lot of water. Fortunately the caches
were stocked, so we did not have to divert to the springs.

It was tough, but not as tough as New Hampshire AT!
