[pct-l] Vermilion Valley Resort

[goslowgofar@yahoo.com (goslowgofar)]

I just stopped by VVR last week on a JMT section hike
and can support Bill's claim that the new owners are
very supportive of hikers.  Jim wanted to assure the
trail community that they are committed to serving the
hikers.  I had a great experience and highly recommend
VVR as a worthwhile side trip (that shower felt
wonderful!)
