I've hiked Mt. San Jacinto several times and Mt. San Gorgonio too and never had altitude problems, but when I hike to the summit of Mt. Whitney I have always taken Diamox, prescribed by my doctor, because I want to be certain I reach the summit. Diamox will prevent you from getting altitude sickness and the terrible headaches and nausea that comes with it.
Speaking of sickness, I'm getting a headache and nausea right now listening to Congressman Weiner finally confess to his sins....ooops, I'm hijacking a thread again.
P.S. I'm so glad you found a friend in this thread to join you. I hope you go September 17, 18, 19 so my friends and I can meet you two San Diegoans.
