[pct-l] Suggestion for So. Cal. hike this week or next

[mara at jeffress.net (Mara Jeffress)]

Hi!

I didn't reply to the does your honey hike thread.  My husband does 
backpack but does not thru-hike because he likes to carry a lot of 
heavy food and a bottle of wine....nice way to spend 2-3 days in the 
wilderness, I must say!  He is a gourmet cook, beer and wine 
connoisseur  and can't stand the thought of eating the same stuff all 
the time.  He will be my biggest re-supply support this summer and is 
even considering become a trail beer angle after my relation of the 
long beer thread.  I'm sure he would take suggestions for good No. Cal 
cache spots.

Anyway,  We would like to go down south to see the wildflowers and the 
butterflies this week or next (miss the weekend crowds) and were 
thinking about going out to the Mojave.  When we are hiking together we 
do 10 miles (or less) a day backpacking (1-3 nights) or car camp and 
day hike up to 15 miles in one day, exploring form our "base camp".

If any of you So Cal folks can suggest a pretty hike (either on or near 
the PCT or not is fine) that fits those criteria, I would really 
appreciate it.

Please reply to me OFF LIST, so as not to clog up the list.

Thanks a lot!
Mara
