[pct-l] Complaint about Red's Meadow pricing for packages--

[ROYROBIN@aol.com (ROYROBIN@aol.com)]

<< We also checked into a food drop for a JMT hike at the Bishop Pass 
Junction some years ago.  It would have cost $350!  Needless to say we chose 
to hike on to VCR.   >>

This would not be an option for most PCT thruhikers.  In '97, which was not 
an unusually high snow year, we resupplied at Bishop on June 29th.  The east 
(really north) side of the pass was not yet open for packers.
