[pct-l] Soda Springs for resupply?

[mountainbliss@juno.com (Ed Molash)]

Is it hiker friendly, or is one of those surly logging/resort towns?  How
about prices and accomodations?  I'm also looking for a good place to
send back my hardcore mountaineering gear after the High Sierras and Soda
Springs looks like it's in a good place to do so.  In most years, would
you need an ice axe/crampons for Section K around the 1st week of July?
Thanks in advance.

Ed
