[pct-l] question

[David Stewart]

Hello everyone,

I am probably going to purchase the Six Moons Design "Comet", 3700 cubic
inches of space
My base weigh will be about 13 pounds.

My query: is it possible to pull off a no-stop jaunt from Kennedy Meadows to
Mammoth Lakes (inclusive Mt. Whitney). I am just curious, as I know that I
can plan on the trail, everything is flexible, there is much to learn along
700 miles, etc... I am just wondering if people do this.

Also, I would not mind avoiding VVR: the mixed reviews, the "moneypit"
factor, etc... I figure, what's another 30 miles to Mammoth Lakes? People
rave about Mammoth Lakes, and I really hate stopping twice inside of 30
miles or so...

As for planning, we all know: "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in
the face" - Mike Tyson.

Sorry to quote Tyson, but in this case, he does has a point, even if he is a
raging, raging psychopath.

I appreciate the help that everyone on this list has given me: rarely do I
answer people questions - mostly because I don't know anything about this
trail and I am doing my best to absorb some of the knowledge/experience that
you all so graciously pass along.

Thank you.

I am quitting my job in less than 3 weeks. This is thrilling.
