[pct-l] Buy as you go

> believe but if u take the shutle up to Mammoth there is a Von's and outfitter

There's a bus that runs quite often to a ski lodge where you take the free "Bike Bus" into town to the Free Trolley stop.  That Trolley goes to Vons, the Outfitter (a good one), the Post Office, motels, restaurants, a movie theater.   There's a town map that has the trolley routes on it.

I will stop in Mammoth again.
I will get a box in Mammoth with my Northern California Guidebook and a few other things.  I'll also buy some supplies in Mammoth.  I will ship a few resupply boxes to hard-to-buy locations north of here.

        yeh Reds doesn't open til June 15th I believe but if u take the shutle up to Mammoth there is a Von's and outfitter...all kinds of places to resupply up there. As for Tuolumne I only need it for a few days resupply after resupplying in Mammoth and I will always have extra bug spray so I don't have to worry about running out...I hate them dam skeeters!

          We arrived at Reds Meadow before the store was open - twice.

          All those are good.
          Tuolumne, though, runs out of things.
          I'm glad I've always sent my resupply there.

          At least twice they have been out of bug repellant.
          Wrong place to be without.

          I was just at Tehachapi and Idyllwild this weekend and they are both great
          towns to resupply at...Big Bear is too...I've been there several times. The
          little store in Tuolumne is pretty awesome too...O and Mammoth (reds Meadow)
          is a great spot as well

          For those of us who prefer to buy as we go, which towns along the trail
          currently have decent stores and which require maildrops? There were some
          good articles a few years ago about buy as you go resupply strategies, but I
          haven't seen anything online recently that gives a simple list of where we
          can expect to be able to resupply and where we have to mail food. I know
          some of the resupply stops we used when we hiked nine years ago have
          changed, so the old info isn't valid.
