[pct-l] JMT heading South

[chelin at teleport.com (Sharon & Chuck Chelin)]

Good evening, Matterhorn,

At Tuolumne Meadows on 15 Sep 05 the sun will rise 06:38 and set at 19:07
local time.  The moon on that date will be nearly full, rising at 18:06 and
setting at 03:31.   On 30 Sep 05 the sun will rise at 06:51 and will set at
18:43.  The moon will be dark.

Under most conditions there will be navigation light beginning approximately
one half hour before sunrise, and until one half hour after sunset.  There
will be more light if you are high up, and a good bit less if you are in the
bottom of a canyon.

Enjoy...

Steel-Eye
