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

[yogilists@xxxxxxxxxxx (yogi hicker)]

I agree, the hike over Kearsarge Pass is beautiful.  I walked that in 2001.
We ate dinner in Independence, then went up the highway and took a zero day
in Bishop, which is also a GREAT town.

Personally, I'd skip the Kearsarge Pass trip the next time because I don't
want to walk an extra 18 miles off-trail.

Just because you stop at VVR doesn't mean you don't stop at Independence via
Kearsage Pass. I recommend you do both. The hike over Kearsage Pass is one
of the most spectacular on the trek. The views are awesome. And then going
down into the desert is an adventure in itself. The town is small and
friendly, too. I wouldn't miss it!
