[pct-l] New Food Joint & Bug Shelter

[wordsnstats at msn.com (jean Partlow)]

Hi Switchback

I forgot to bring my spoon on one hike. (still haven't found it!) So I ate 
my hot cereal from a ziplock feedbag style. Kind of messy, but it worked!

> Another trip fun time has begun.  I don't know if Victorville is too far

> 19311 Bear Valley Road (760-247-3555).  Unbelievable.  A lot of seniors
