[pct-l] PCT without food mail drops?

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

If you are picky, you will have to do a few maildrops. You can do  
them from the trail so don't sweat it too much.

I found this info useful for getting a sense of what kind of food is  
available. Keep in mind, stores open and close. Yogi's trail guide is  
useful, too, and I think there are a few web sites with this kind of  
info.
