[pct-l] PCT resupply

[Dusty Wallace]

I'm not worried about resuppling in Washington at all. I live there and have
my boyfriend and parents willing to bring me supplies where ever I fell fit.
:) 
My mom was also talking about taking a road trip down to Cal. somewhere and
bringing more supplies. Three of my best friends live in Burney and are
willing
to pick me up and have me stay with them for a few days. from there I was
thinking about resuppliing the Oregon section. I'm still weighing my
options.
Peace
Kim

On some trails 150 miles or more between resupplies are a fact of life, but
they don't always have to be.   Three areas on the PCT I recall would be
Mojave to Kennedy Meadows, KM to VVR and Cascades Locks to White Pass.
 
>From Mojave to KM.  Although Onyx (PO, small store) at one time was
described as a "hard hitch" I found it the easiest on the trail, with being
picked up 1st car each way.  At the time they also had a $1 bus from Onyx to
Isabella.
 
>From KM to VVR, I resupplied twice, 1st at the Horseshoe Meadows campground
(hitch to Lone Pine) where I had friends waiting, and the hike over
Kearsarge Pass to Onion Valley  (incredibly scenic) where we immediately got
a ride to Independence (PO, store?)  by asking.  Others consider this
section without resupply their best experience on the trail.  YMMV.  
 
>From Cascade Locks to White Pass also offers two options.  The 1st is
Stabler Country store which holds packages and Trout Lake which is a great
little trail town, small store (limited resupply)   motel, restaurant, PO
and laundry..  The only drawback of the latter is a 15 mile hitch on a
lightly used road.  However, it does get traffic and the people that travel
it will most ikely give you a ride.
