Hey Phoenix,

Info on ATM's out of the town guide is as follows:
Warner Springs - NO
Idyllwild, Big Bear City, Wrightwood - YES
Agua Dulce - NO
Tehachapi/Mojave - YES
Kennedy Meadows - NO

ATM's after that only at Lone Pine, Bishop (if you are even stopping at tho=
se towns), Belden, Ashland, Cascade Locks, Snoqualmie, and Skykomish.  Soun=
ds like the $300 for emergencies may be a good plan.  I'm counting on that,=
 and my credit card!  In the past I have carried Traveler's Checks, but I h=
ave been given a hard time about those before on more than one occasion.

I hope that helps.

We're just about to leave Mount Laguna, a few days behind the main group of=

 hikers.  Yesterday I tried to buy a money order at the Mount Laguna post o=
=3D
ffice, and my check card was rejected.  I couldn't quite understand why, bu=
=3D
t it seems to do with the fact that it is  an ATM card that can be used as =
=3D
like a credit card, and the post office computer only takes straight debit =
=3D
cards.  Fortunately we had enough cash to resupply well past Warner Springs=
=3D
, but now we have no cash.

So can anyone tell me if Warner Springs has an ATM in the area?  And where =
=3D
else in the coming weeks can we hope to find ATMs?

Thanks in advance,
