Subject: [pct-l] Snow Gear Mail Drop

I have decided to send myself my snow gear (micro spikes/ice ax) for use in the 
San Jacintos (and if not needed by then great, I'll bounce ahead) but I am not 
exactly sure where to send.

I had read suggestions to mail into Idyllwild so that was my original plan, 
however I plan to access Idyllwild via the Devil's Slide Trail which I am now 
realizing is at higher elevation, above 8000 ft. So I am wondering if I should 
mail earlier to Paradise Cafe on HWY 74 in order to have as I go up in 
elevations approaching the Devils Slide. Would this be too early or would there 
be a possibility of needing/wanting these items on the climb? Fuller Ridge is 
after the Devil's Slide Trail, this is where I hear most sketchy snow/ice 
experiences... would mailing to Idyllwild be fine as Fuller is the only area I 
might want this gear? 

Any experience in the snow/ice here would be most appreciated!

Thanks!
 Lisa
