[pct-l] JMT Happy Isles to Tuolumne - Solo Advice

[scourtway at bpa-arch.com (Steve Courtway)]

It's hard to determine........definitely the numbers on the trail increase
substantially after the 4th of July weekend and into late July, folks seem
to be afraid of skeeters and snow on the JMT heh heh.  And I'd offer this as
well, don't be afraid to camp solo.  Feeling alone maybe an alien feeling to
you, but has it's definite rewards as well (psyches self out) heh.

s.c.
