[pct-l] TRT Parking - and WATER

[Jeffrey Olson]

When I hiked the TRT many years ago I dropped off water at road 
crossings - I can't remember where specifically.  They were really 
welcomed.  I washed with the water I didn't drink or carry.  it is hot 
and dry in the northand east...  Crush the gallon jugs and carry them to 
the next outpost of civilization - never far away...

I had planned to start at Tahoe Meadows so I could resupply at Tramway Market at Kingsbury Grade, Echo Chalet / South Lake, and Tahoe City. In that way, the resupplies were fairly evenly spaced out. Be mindful of low water supplies around the north and east sides. As for the parking, when I considered going back up the following weekend, I had decided that I would see about leaving the car at a hotel I'd stay at before/after and loo for a cab/hitch/shuttle to get to the TH. The TRTA page has a comprehensive list of transportation options:http://www.tahoerimtrail.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=82&Itemid=167
