[pct-l] Sierra City to Belden/Belden to Old Station

[Tortoise73 at charter.net (Tortoise)]

 From my experience and thinking --

Instead rendezvous somewhere before starting the hike, exchange cars and 
each group has keys to the car they are hiking to; (their own car). 
   It's easy to miss the other party when planning to meet somewhere on 
the trail -- one group takes an alternate route, gets temporarily lost, 
takes a short side trip, whatever; and you don't meet. Also this way you 
avoid the problem of ending your hike at different times and meeting up 
afterwards to get back your own car back.
