Did I send this people?  I'm still getting used to Gmail...before my
computer crashed, Drafts had their own file, away from my Inbox.  If this is
a repeat, sorry.......FireFly

   Burney Falls Store will hold your packages for $5.00 an item.  The hitch
from Hwy 299 into the  town of Burney can be nasty...if you must send a
package to the P.O. there, better to go on into the Park and ask Trail
Angel/Rangers Shirley or Jason to snag you a ride into town.  Shirley's at
the entrance kiosk and is usually the one who checks you into the Hike and
Bike campsite.  Neat lady.  Jason shares Shirley's job, I think and is just
around as well.

 Oh, shopping is a 30 minute drive one way, so...we'd appreciate advanced
notice re big groups  (herds/waves), kosher, vegetarians or veggans, etc.
It's not a requirement, but it's nice to have...we like to cater to special
needs.
