[pct-l] Resupply in Etna?
To offer a different opinion, I went by Etna this summer, going from
Dunsmuir to Seiad straight through. Dunsmuir to Etna took 5 days
through some really nice terrain. Etna is, as I recall, about 100
miles from Dunsmuir and makes a pretty logical resupply point. But,
I liked being out hiking and didn't really want to go into town,
particularly since I'd just had a day and a half off in Dunsmuir.
