[pct-l] Resupply details

[chwillet at indiana.edu (Christopher Willett)]

Skaggs isn't "hosting" people (i.e, laborers) anymore.  White's was a nice 
stay this summer  Big Lake Youth Camp is not at mile 1944.7, contrary 
to what various data books list.  It is actually past Sisters, which is 
at mile 1984.  There is a PO in Crater Lake NP, about 4 miles up the 
road from Mazama campground towards the rim.  Don't send a maildrop, 
though, as the store in Mazama was really well supplied and quite 
cheap.  Don't bother sending yourself alcohol in the mail.  It is 
pretty widely available. Mojave, strangely enough, had neither HEET nor 
denatured.  Rather odd.
