[pct-l] Sonora Pass PO address?

[m.karon@xxxxxxxxx (Marshall Karon)]

In 2000, we also supplied at the Kennedy Meadows Sonora Pass. The ride down
and back were spectacular. Got a lift down with a day hiker whom we met up
on the Pass. Got a ride up from a couple of women having breakfast in the
restaurant and who were going for a hike.

Agree that the store was better supplied than we would have thought. Hot
showers were $5, campsite nearby was free, box fee was $10. Restaurant
didn't know what vegetarian food was, but, we found other things to eat.
Fine stop.
