[pct-l] North to South

[Halfmile]

David,

I have never hiked this late in the season but the weather can sometimes be bad.

It was unusual, but on October 17, 2004 a snowstorm hit the Sierra's
killing a couple of climbers in Yosemite, and stranding many hikers.
So be prepared. I would try and be south of the Sierra by October
15th.
