[pct-l] VVR Resupply info

[Tom Aterno]

I took the YARTS bus to Tuolumne this past September, and the bus does  
not stop long enough at the Mobil gas station on highway 120 for a  
meal to be cooked, and the driver said food was not allowed on the  
bus.  Does look like good food can be had there.
