Some other towns that might work:
	Big Bear
	Mammoth Lakes
	Quincy
	Burney
	anywhere with a Wal-mart

I bounced a CD-burner (Roadster: 
http://www.macaddict.com/issues/0405/rev.roadstor.html) along the trail 
this year as did Wildflower and Packman.  The cost of bouncing it is 
the main issue as well as making sure you have a place to plug it in.  
You'll also have to bounce a collection of blank CD's for burning.

If you don't go into Sisters in Oregon then you probably have to have 
enough memory cards for your camera to get from Ashland to Cascade 
Locks.  Similarly for Washington, you would have to bounce the burner 
to Snoqualime. There are several areas on the PCT where it is almost 
effortless to take 100 pictures per *day* never mind 100 per week. In 
any case I would recommend carrying several memory cards instead of one 
huge memory card.
