[pct-l] retrieving resupply

[melleeaz at att.net (melleeaz@att.net)]

I had to get off the trail near Mohave due to a knee injury.  I have resupply boxes at Kennedy Meadows and VVR.  Does anyone know how to get them back or what to do about them?From steve at wassermanins.com  Mon Jun  7 10:29:40 2004

Recently purchased  MSR MIOX water treatment device.  Small, light weight,
revolutionary - uses electyrolysis to generate oxidants to kill bad
microbugs.  I'd like to know if anyone has enough experience with this
device to advise:  (1) will ANY rock salt approximately same grain size
work, so I don't have to resupply from MSR at outrageous price?  (2)  Since
it takes 4 hours to kill crypto, I'm faced with carrying double water supply
(one to drink; one being purified), or using Aquamira or iodine or bleach
for immediate use.  Maybe MIOX will only be good for overnight treating,
when I won't have to be carrying large volumes that is not yet consumable.
My plan is for a 700-mile central CA PCT section hike from KM to Burney.
thx.  Old Goat
