[pct-l] Plugging through the Sierras? - Parchers Camp

[Jeffrey Olson]

Don't forget Parchers Camp over Bishop Pass.  It's 12 miles from the 
PCT, up a grand and glorious canyon wall, through pristine Dusy Basin, 
and over another 12,000' pass.  While it's 24 miles round trip, there is 
no hitchhiking involved.

I communicated with the new owner last year and they will hold 
packages.  I bet you could even arrange to have a food cache packed down 
to the trail if you could arrange to be somewhere "on time" - don't know 
though. 

Jeff, just Jeff...

I see the convenience of a resupply, but also reallyliked being the human version of those trucks headed for the border in the 70s classic "Convoy": I just kept on going, nothing could slow me, until I hit... that horseshoe paradise at VVR.
