[pct-l] Have had a hard time convincing my hiking partner...

When I got to the Sierra in the normal hiking season, the meadows  
were green and full of wildflowers. I followed wildflowers (mostly  
mule ears) for all of July. In September the Sierras will be dry and  
brown.

I remember meeting a couple in Lake Tahoe. They decided to split up  
(on the hike, not their relationship) so that each could experience  
their own hike for a while. They thought if they each had their own  
hikes and shared them together later, it would be like getting two  
hikes to experience for the price of one. They seemed really smart  
and settled in their relationship to be able to do something like that.

Kind of like how someone here once said they felt: I wish you could  
be here alone to experience this with me. Something like that.
