[pct-l] For folks on the trail this summer

[Robert Ellinwood]

After asking 2 hikers who finished this year a couple questions, I realized
I would love suggestions from all who hiked this year. If you have heard
tidbits from hikers not on the list, please speak up.

Aside from any info already in Yogi's book - the gold standard - what
surprises/changes did you find this year?  Any specific problems with
logistics and re-supply spots?  

Places of usual interest:

How did you handle re-supply at Pines to Palm Hwy?  Anyone send a box to
Paradise Café?

Tehachapi vs Mojave?  No more rides from Whites?  How did you manage getting
back to the trail?

How was V V R this year?  

Was anyone at Tuolumne Meadows before the store/PO was open?  How did you
handle that?

Likewise, early-season and the shuttle at Reds Meadow?  Running?

Best place to stay this year in South Lake Tahoe?

Any problems with pkgs at Burney Falls SP?

Hitching into Ashland?  Skip it or try it? 

What did you do regarding Olallie Lake?  Are they still not accepting pkgs?

Which of several ways did you get from Manning to Seattle?

The public may or may not have a right to know, but future hikers sure would
like to.

Thanks,  Dr Bob
