[pct-l] Top 5 worst resupply stops

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

You might want to consult Yogi's guide or perhaps the  
planyourhike.com site.

In my opinion, the worst resupply locations (where shopping would be  
most difficult for the least picky person who is willing to hitchhike  
and who doesn't care if the food is expensive or all mini-market  
fare) are:

Warner Springs
Onyx
Kennedy Meadows
Stehekin

I think I could have found something to eat in every other place I  
went to. There were some, such as Seiad Valley, California or Barrow,  
Washington, where I resorted to raisin snails and bear claws; peanut  
butter and jelly sandwiches (with real bread) and a lot of candy,  
cookies and crap. Onyx can be skipped in favor of Lake Isabella or  
just making it all the way to Kennedy Meadows, but I thought I'd put  
it here because I really did not think I could find enough to eat in  
their store.
