[pct-l] snow conditions near Onyx Summit



Hi Again  Second thoughts--If no one available on Sunday maybe some one
could pick us up Friday morning around 11:00 am at Little Bear Springs where
I would park my truck and give us a lift to Hwy 18 at Baldwin Lake where we
would start or hike. Then we wouldn't have to be in some ones car when we
were dirty and wet.  Thanks again
       Ground Pounder Bill
