Karen, 

It's great to see you on the pct-l.  Between the last two ALDHA east 
Gatherings, sitting in on your workshops, reading several of your books and 
watching the How to Hike the PCT video, no less than six times,  I've 
received a wealth of information from you and Dan on long distance hiking and 
the PCT in particular.  Thanks so much!

On resupplying in the Sierras.  I was mixed about carrying 10 to 12 days 
worth of food from KM to Vermillion Valley or as to whether it would be worth 
the extra effort and miles to resupply along the way.  

Since I had already packed several days of food and 8 liters of water in an 
earlier section, weight wasn't so much the issue, as just getting out there, 
seeing and experiencing as much as I possibly could, side trails and towns 
included.  

However, as you said, weight diminishes everyday and doing the long stretch 
from KM to VVR is clearly an option with less logistical hassle, not to 
mention saving some money.

Sly
