just returned early from an attempt at JMT section hike from Tuolumne Meadows to
VVR. We were forced to hike out at Agnew Meadows due to what I sarcastically
refer to as my "delicate princess feet."

I was tied up this past week so did not respond. Tonight I copied all the
comments into a document (14 pages in length after playing with formatting).
Over the next week when I am in San Antonio for a conference, I will read it
over and add my two cents worth. A lot of help was offered and at first
glance, much of was very good and I am sure we can all learn from Maggie's
problem.
