[pct-l] yogi's resupply strategy - VVR

[yogilists@xxxxxxxxxxx (yogi hicker)]

There is more to a resupply point than simply resupplying.  Personally, I
would walk the approximately 190 miles (including a Whitney sidetrip) from
KM to VVR without going out over Kearsarge Pass to resupply.  That puts me
at VVR.

Yes, VVR is expensive.  So you'll spend a lot of money there.  Cut back
somewhere else.  After 11 days traipsing over the passes in the Sierras, you
are ready for good food, showers, laundry, and time to tell tall tales with
your fellow hikers.  VVR is one of those places that you'll never forget.
Not because of the food, or the tent cabin, or the shower.  But because of
the time you spend with your fellow hikers who just went thru the same
frightening/fun/crazy/harrowing experiences in the Sierras with you.

The people who work at VVR are wonderful.
Spending time with your fellow hikers  at VVR is wonderful.
Taking a zero day in the middle of the Sierras is wonderful.
Do it at VVR.
VVR is very hiker friendly.
It's our world.
Red's Meadows is not ours.  It's touristy.

my opinion.
I've been there twice.
VVR rocks.
