[pct-l] Hwy 299- PCT handbook Directions to Burney?

[bharve at dslextreme.com (Bruce Harvey)]

>From maps N18 and N19, hikers at Hwy 299 hitching to Burney will need to get
out at the Hwy 89 junction and do another hitch north of 89, unless their
first ride is going to Burney.  (I don"t have Yogi's PCT Handbook, it may
include the detail.)
