[pct-l] Ray's Food Place

[ralvek088-hiking at yahoo.com]

Your work is well appreciated but there's no need to get all snitty about a request.

The guy SAID he's not American and is unfamiliar with US stores and may not understand
common colloquialisms. Please see his original post below.

Part of the problem is how folks start a new thread when responding - which causes loss
of context.

Yogi's book is certainly helpful on this. But I guess there are some
things that you just know when you are a native and you just don't know
if you are not. That's language and culture. You probably know what to
expect if Yogi tells you there is a "Ray's Food Place" or a "Vons" or a
"Convenience Store" - I don't. For example, when I read about Wrightwood
I learned that "grocery store" is apparently not just another word for
"supermarket", as I thought before ;)

If Yogi says you can do a "full resupply", does that usually mean a big
enough selection to find food for stoveless hiking?

Off the top of my head, I can think of three "Ray's Food Place" in my book:
Mt. Shasta, Etna, and Sisters.  They are listed like this:

Mt. Shasta:  Ray's Food Place Supermarket
Etna:  Ray's Food Place (large grocery store)
Sisters:  Ray's Food Place Supermarket

If people don't understand what the words "grocery store", "supermarket",
or "Convenience Store", "C-Store", or "full resupply" mean, then I can't
help you.  There's only so much hand-holding we can do.  At some point,
hikers need to figure stuff out on their own.
