Idyllwild april 28-29

Here in Idyllwild library, mile 178, the trail goes up into the san jancito mountain range and i have already recieved a few miles of snow travel, the next section i may decide to bypass as reports from the ranger station say that no one has made it through yet, i may walk through a lower elevation trail and get back on fuller ridge at lower elevation, the official PCT runs through a stretch of this range at 8000-9000 ft, and has a lot of snow on north to northeast facing slopes
