[pct-l] Red's Meadow South

[djpercival at cox.net (Joe Percival)]

In mid October you should be prepared for anything.  You could easily get
snow and temps down in the teens.  A few years back a friend and I took a
jaunt up to Rock Creek Lake right around the 15th and had to turn around
because of snow.
I'd definitely check the weather forecast regularly and make sure your car
is parked someplace where they keep the roads plowed if rain / snow is
anticipated.

I'm planning to hike from Red's Meadow south to Kearsarge Pass in
mid-Oct.  I have the following questions:  (1) Is the shuttle from
Mammonth Lakes to Red's Meadow still operating this time of year? (2) Is
the trail still open i.e. no fire restrictions?  (3) Are bear cans still
required?  (4) What can one expect for temperatures at that elevation?
Thanks for you help.
 
Jim
