[pct-l] Sierras in early to mid-October

[Jeffrey Olson]

I spent four nights in a tent near Dorothy Lake pass in the third week 
of September one year.  Weather is unpredictable.  Just go for it and be 
ready to head to lower elevations...

Due to jobs, we aren't able to start until the 2nd week of September. That puts us in the Sierras early to mid-October. We're doing it in this direction to optimize our conditioning and building up to the Sierra elevations.
