[pct-l] Tehachapi to Kennedy Meadows

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good afternoon, Jerry,

Some hikers leave the trail to resupply -- at either Mojave or Tehachapi --
at the first road which is Hwy-138, the Tehachapi/Willow Springs Road;
while others go about 6-8 miles north across the high, windy sand hills to
Hwy-58, the Tehachapi Pass Highway.  The difference isn’t 10 miles, it’s
more like 6-7 as I recall.  That may be what Yogi is referring to.
