Well, this is my first post to this list, but I have been an avid reader
for some time now. Thanks to all of you who have shared you knowledge
with us rookies. I finally feel as though I may have something to
contribute. All of So. Cal. is prone to high winds in the canyon areas.
Especially when conditions are right, winds can reach in excess of
50mi/hr in the canyons (thats why wind generated power is possible in
and around Palm Springs). Don't leave home without chapstick or a
windbreaker. the extra couple of ounces will be a blessing when those
winds kick up. As a general rule the winds are worst between 3 P.M. and
the early morning hours due to the difference in heat between the high
desert and the low inland areas close to the Pacific ocean. When they
get started, branches, leaves, sand, and any other small items can be
blown with incredible force.
I for one am taking a windbreaker, chapstick and sunglasses to protect
my eyes and skin from this specific "event." I would recommend you do
the same.

I can only look back with fondness as I remember Don Middleton walking
twards me with a jug of water as I laboured in the 110F heat (uphill!)
past his house. His wife had seen me, and he came out to offer help.
They
were true trail angels. I can only hope that future class members will
be
fortunate enough to meet folks like them.....

Subject: [pct-l] My Favorite Jerky Recipe
Here's my favorite poultry jerky marinade. I usually let the meat
soak overnight. It takes my American Harvester about 12 hours to
dehydrate 3 lbs. And be sure to bake your jerky at 200 degrees for
about 10 minutes to kill any samanila (sp) bacteria. The basalmic
vinegar really makes a wonderful difference in the taste!
1/2 C Basalmic Vinegar
3/4 C Pineapple Juice
1/2 C Soy Sauce
1/2 C Brown Sugar
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
2 tsp Grated Ginger (or more to taste, yum!)
2 tsp Salt
3 lbs Chicken or Turkey

Subject: [pct-l] re:boot questions
Thanks Charlie Thorpe and others with the boot help. I've requested
literature on the Solomon line of boots and am looking forward to trying
a
few pairs on (they've got quite a line). I was really surprized how
comfortable a supposedly very supportive boot like the Asolo Globaline
was,
in comparison to the out-of-the-box feel of my older Yukons. I've always
had
to do the moleskin thing before a hike with these, even when using the
double-sock method. A couple weekends ago, I tried them without heel
protection and got blisters in two miles (carrying nothing more than a
daypack with essentials). I told myself that given they're a well
broken-in
pair of boots, I shouldn't have to be tolerating this and maybe a new
pair
with a different fit is in order. Thanks again all
Best of trails- Ken Marlow

I can definitely empathize Bob. I broke my ankle on the cobble stone
trail heading up the north side of Muir Pass about a decade ago. I was
able to hobble down to Leconte Canyon, which unfortunately put a lot of
stress on the other ankle.
I wish I could hike in runner shoes like I once did; as some of you
do, but now I exclusively wear Limmer boots, orthotics and an
occasional ankle wrap for even a weekend stroll. I do a lot of ankle
exercises, but come winter my ankles really complain about the 30
years of abuse that have been done to them.
Ironically, last summer my hikiing partner of nearly a decade slipped
and broke his ankle in the Muro Blanco. Fortunately we only had two
miles of extreme bush wacking left (four miles for me since I had to
go up and back retrieving packs and finding less difficult routes to
descend). Wisdom prevailed this time and I made my partner wait in
upper Paradise Meadows until I had him packed out the next day. This
really saved on compounding matters more. He recovered much quicker
than I had and we just did a ten miler last weekend; he should be
ready this coming summer for more fun on the summits...although he has
to wait until I get back from Nepal :-).
Happy hiking!

this has happened on the at-l, too. we really don't get a lot of spam

i'd
vote for keeping the list open for as long as possible, until the spam

Subject: [pct-l] Snowpack this year
I'm planning a hike from Tahoe to Mt. Whitney this summer (July & Aug)
Should the heavy snowpack this year (150% of normal for entire season
already) be cause for concern? Should I reschedule for next year?
Thanks,
Richard
