[pct-l] hammock on JMT

[steve_peterson at sbcglobal.net (Steve Peterson)]

I'd say it is doable, but then I don't use a hammock so what I think of as 
suitable, may not be.

Just don't think about camping at any of the alpine lakes and you should be OK. 
There is a long stretch, from Crabtree over Whitney to Whitney Portal that 
doesn't have much in the way of trees, but everywhere else you should be able to 
camp in trees, get over the pass, and back into more trees without doing more 
than about 15 miles, if my memory serves.


If you want specifics, contact me off list.
