The bus from Devils Postpile runs to Agnew Meadow and back to 
Mammoth Ski area. The bus I was referring to is the bus from Mammoth (the town) 
to/from the ski area. Is there anyone from Mammoth that can clear this 
up?

      The shuttle from Red's to Mammoth runs all the time. I 
        was there in Sept...Labor Day weekend and it was running then. Not sure 
        how much it is though cuz I never used it just saw it going and picking 
        people up from Devil's Postpile

          Be careful about wanting to re-supply at Reds 
          Meadow. In our 2 PCT hikes we 
arrived at Reds Meadow before the 
          store was stocked. There was no food or 
services there. The store 
          opens about the time the hikers are arriving. If 
you are near the 
          front of the pack you may be to early. It was good that we 
had not 
          planned to re-supply there.

In 2007 we took the bus to the 
          Mammoth Mountain ski area then caught a ride 
into Mammoth. You may 
          hear about a bus into/out of Mammoth, but we were told 
in town 
          that the bus only ran during ski season.

We agree that VVR is 
          expensive, but we enjoyed ours stays there.

My VVR experience last summer was great. I 
          skipped
it on my first time section hiking the PCT, but was
glad 
          I did it the second time through. VVR is very
hiker friendly (I had 
          previously met Jim at Trailfest).
They give you one free night in a 
          tent cabin, and one
free beer. Their restaurant is great, and they 
          have showers and laundry 
facililties. Their hiker boxes are 
          overflowing too. I personally would buy 
food there to get to Red's 
          Meadow
or Agnew Meadows, then bus up to Mammoth for 
          resupply.
Red's was one night and two days hiking, so that's not 
          much food to buy. 
Mammoth has everything. Agnew
Meadows is nice 
          to begin from after a full resupply, as it
is a 800-900 foot climb 
          up from Reds. Further, it's about
thirty miles to Tuolumne Meadows 
          where you can get more
stuff. VVR is rated as one of the most 
          popular places to
visit on the PCT and I would  highly 
          recommend 
          it.
