PCT: scrap Tram plan, simple car shuttle to leap Jacinto in single bound

So my plans have changed....

Checked out the approach to the tram and its a long steep grade to the terminal, infeasible for me by bicycle.  Also stopped at the whitewater hiker house and there's no way to get across hwy 10 by bicycle from there.  

But, one of the hosts there - Ron Vaugn, has offered to drive me and my car back to the south side of the mt, then return my car to here - just north of hwy 10.  It'll cost me $50 for his time,- abt 5 hrs round trip, but he's been doing that for others routinely, so, at least my car & contents should be safe. 

So, it'll be a straightforward hike of about 55 miles which will take me abt 6 days, I guess...  still need to plan my days to try to stay at water sources overnight - may mean shorter or longer days than my default 10mi/day.


Hi Dad,
I left you a voice message but just in case you dont get it I thought I should email you too.
As requested, I am mailing you your CF cards to the address you provided - I will be sending via USPS because thats all I have time for at the moment if you want it sent soon. I will send it off tomorrow (Mon May 21).
I had to buy a card reader in order to load them onto the computer. I hope you will reinburse me for it ($15). The photo numbers are as follows:
Card A: 6715 - 6910
Card B: 5143 - 6019
Happy Hiking!
