[pct-l] Walking back through WA after successful thru-hike?

[Patrick Beggan]

Thanks for the info, guys. Sounds like this is what I'll do --  
carrying 7 or 8 days worth of food from Stehekin the first time I come  
through, enough to turn around and come back, that won't be too bad. I  
can probably get a friend of mine to pick me up in Wenatchee, for that  
matter.

This is a great help -- transport info like this isn't in Yogi's guide  
so it's good to know.
