[pct-l] Mt. Baden Powell Bypass

[tahoe.cat at verizon.net (Bill Frenette)]

Hi Marge    Last Sept.  my grandson and I did I-15 to three points on hwy 2. 
We went to the top of BP but could have by passed by staying on hwy 2 at the 
BP parking area and following it two three points. You would pass a lot of 
beautiful country though. when we were at the top a rain storm got us. The 
road at the parking area is at 7000'. We have another storm hitting SoCal as 
I write. Suppose to move through but hang until Tuesday. Remember "Be 
Prepared"  Ground Pounder Bill  "Semper Fi"
