[pct-l] Plugging through the Sierras?

Getting back to the original question...

Muir Trail Ranch is about a day's walk from VVR. I also preferred to 
stay in the mountains and not take any of the passes to the "trail 
towns" 20-30 odd miles away. You can mail a bucket to MTR but you 
cannot purchase food there. 

That would be your only standard option for a "near-trail" resupply 
other than VVR. So you get to carry a bit less food from Kennedy 
Meadows, but it could still be a good 8 to 10 days to MTR. Of 
course, whether or not you go up Whitney makes a difference too.
