[pct-l] Sierra Resupply

[Jennifer Zimmerman]

KM to VVR in one shot is totally do-able.  I knew of a lot of hikers who
did this in 2013 - a low snow year though, so hiking might have gone faster
than over normal snowpack.  I personally really enjoyed the hike out to
Onion Valley via Kearsarge Pass. It was one of the most scenic parts of the
trail and Bishop was a great town for a zero.

On the way down to the trailhead we met a couple returning to the PCT via
the pass.  They had planned to go straight through to VVR but felt worn
down/hungry and decided to take a zero in the valley. So, I guess what I'm
saying is, you could plan to do KM-VVR but reserve the right to change your
mind if the altitude is kicking your butt.

Enjoy your hike!  Not long now!
