[pct-l] Ride to/from JMT in June

[Bob Bankhead]

Slight error in Wenk's comments - she is describing the route FROM the
JMT/PCT to the Mosquito Flats trailhead and then out to Hwy 395 and Tom's
Place, not the other way around. Mea culpa.

Here's what the latest (2007 4th) edition of Elizabeth Wenk's "John Muir
Trail" says about the Mono Pass route to the PCT/JMT:

"The Hike: 15.1 miles. (allow one to two days); go east up Mono Creek and
over Mono Pass (12,000 feet) to Mosquito Flat trailhead. There are campsites
along the way."

"Trailhead Amenities: Toilets; and down Rock Creek Road, campgrounds,
lodging, cafes and stores."

"Getting to the trailhead:  From Hwy 395 at Tom's Place, turn west on Rock
Creek Road and follow the road past Rock Creek Lake. Beyond the turnoff for
the lake, the road shortly becomes one lane. Continue all the way to the
roadend parking lot, 9.2 miles from Hwy. 395."
