For double cheeseburgers, a big breakfast and beer!  : )

Plus, it's only a 100 mile, 5 day hike (on average) to Big Bear, so you only 
have to carry about 10 pounds of food and fuel.  I suppose you could resupply 
in Anza to make it to Cabazon which is similar to the Warner 
Springs-Idyllwild resupply, leaving only 70 miles or so.

I had intended on checking out Cabazon, but after about a half hour of 
hitching, I gave up.  As someone else mentioned, this isn't the best place on 
the trail to be hanging out and I happily moved on.
