[pct-l] RE: JMT Hike questions

[fdumville at earthlink.net (Frank Dumville)]

I started north from Kennedy Meadows on August 8th last year hiking to
Sierra City. Water was scarce for the first few days, but the mosquitoes
were gone, there wasn't any snow on the passes and water crossing were
easy. I found August to be a wonderful month to hike. I can't comment on
July.
For resupply I think Cottonwood Pass might be a bit soon. I went over
Kearsarge Pass to Independence which was about half way to VVR.
