[pct-l] Campo to Agua Dulce

[Don Billings]

I've had an inguinal hernia surgery (long time back) and the doc explained that the situation can become seriously dangerous if the intestine loops down through the tear & "strangulates." I wouldn't recommend hiking anywhere long distance without that surgery being performed first. Otherwise, you can be on the trail & have to give up or worse, be evacuated out for a medical emergency.
