[pct-l] resupply at Muir vs. VVR

[Randy Forsland]

Oh yeah....and the shuttle is $15.00 round trip...$9.00 if you only go one way....
 
Premium microbrews will run you $10.00 a six pack...and they will always give you the six-pack price at check-out  even if you buy them one at a time...cheaper than any bar around my neck of the woods...
 
I went thru last year and spenta grand total of 68.00 for a day and half..this included the ferry shuttle, resupply box, a shower.. and two meals (and countless beers)...plus sitting around a big fire at night watching a baseball game on satellite TV...
 
I will never pass thru the Sierras without stopping there...it is always a pleasure and I have fond memories of each visit..
