[pct-l] Plugging through the Sierras?

Good evening, Arno,

Your range and Calories per day will be determined largely by how much food 
you can get in a bear 'can.

Howdy.
When I did CA in 2002, I plowed through from Kennedy meadows to VVR without 
resupply. I lost five pounds (that's not pack weight, yo) and spent a 
fortune on 5-egg breakfasts at VVR when I arrived, but I liked not having to 
stop off and hike so far off-trail.

This year there is more snow (probably) and I'm not as young, dumb and full 
of... pee and vinegar as I once was. What are members of this year's crop 
considering? I see the convenience of a resupply, but also reallyliked being 
the human version of those trucks headed for the border in the 70s classic 
"Convoy": I just kept on going, nothing could slow me, until I hit... that 
horseshoe paradise at VVR.

Arno
