[pct-l] Resupply Reds Meadow, Mammoth Lakes, Muir Trail Ranch, VVR

[Jim Keener]

Greetings,

The good news? The choices.

My two cents:

  - VVR
Fun. Part of the Sierra experience. Expensive. Time - it takes a lot  
of it unless you plan well.

  - Muir Trail Ranch
$45 for holding a package. Off the trail. Dependable, friendly. Hot  
springs.

  - Red's Meadow
Can cost for holding package. On trail. Hot shower - free. Campsites.  
A-frame motel rooms.

  - Mammoth Lakes
Full town retail world. Great supermarkets. Fine gear store. Expensive  
motels. Time. ML can be a time sink.

My plan? I'm tending towards sending a package to Red's Meadow and  
spending the night there. Breakfast at the diner, the north towards  
Thousand Island Lake, Donahue Pass, and Tuolomne Meadows. The Promised  
Land. It's all good.

But then again, I might just want the VVR experience, or need to bail  
to Mammoth Lakes. Choices.
