[pct-l] Resupplying at Lone Pine vs. Bishop

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

Dear John

I hiked JMT 3 times. Bishop is larger than Lone Pine. There are many
motels and a large super market (VONS ). Last year,  accidentally I
ended at Bishop, because of my wife's altitude sickness. But we had
enjoyed very much in Bishop. So I recommend Bishop.


> My girlfriend and I will be heading south from Tuolumne on the 24th and one of our resupply points will be either Bishop or Lone Pine via Kearsarge Pass.

> Second question: This is the first long trip (i.e. long enough to need a resupply) we've done.  I've seen the 5 gallon buckets recommended by VVR as resupply boxes, but is that really the best option?  Any other container options?

VVR receives any package. Because I am a foreigner, I cannot get an
American bucket. So I usually send resupplies in a large cardboard
box.  Jim is a very kind man.
