[pct-l] Early resupply in Tuolumne Meadows

[ned at mountaineducation.org]

Steven,

The first response to that question is, are you certain that you can make it 
all the way through the end-of-May/early June snow to reach TM in 10 to 12 
days?? Based on what we saw others capable of accomplishing last May and 
June along the PCT between Horseshoe Meadow and Evolution Valley in the 
snows above 9,000 feet, you might want to throw in a resupply over Kearsarge 
to the Winnedumah in Independence and another at VVR!
