[pct-l] Reds vs Vermillion Store

[kdpo at gottawalk.com (Ken Powers)]

It is also possible for thru-hikers to arrive at Reds Meadow too early also.
We were at Reds Meadow on about 6/21/00 and they were just starting to stock
the store. Good thing we didn't plan to re-supply there because most of the
goods were still in boxes somewhere. We just ate those good hamburgers and
hit the trail toward Tuolumne Meadows.

Reds sells just about anything you need, as long as you do not arrive
in late season (sept), when they start reducing stock for the winter.
if you are really hard up, Red's has a shuttle bus that goes up to the
town of Mammoth Lakes every hour (its not free, but reasonable).  The
town of Mammoth Lakes will have whatever you need.  There are ever a
few very well stocked sporting goods stores where you could buy tents,
packs, bags, parkas, boots, etc.  I beleive the shuttle runs between
7am and 7pm.
