EXPENSIVE stops for me:<br><br>VVR (as mentioned earlier)<br>Mammoth Lakes (great stop but a bit spendy as there are alot of LA visitors)<br>Lake Tahoe (would have been cheap except for the gambling)<br>Olallie Lake (if you're buying food)
<br>Shelter Cove<br>Timberline Lodge (beware the delicious pitchers of beer)<br>Cascade Locks (is that grocery going out of business?)<br>Trout Lake<br>Snoqualime Pass (both stores expensive)<br><br>Easy<br>PCT 2007<br><br>

<div>"Expensive" is a relative term; depends on what you are used to. That said,
I can think of only two places between Mojave and Manning Park that meet your
criteria:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Vermillion Valley Resort - assuming you re-supplied in Independence,
you'll have to re-supply either at Muir Trail Ranch (you must use a
$45 package drop) or V V R 2 days later. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Steheken, WA is also expensive because there are no roads into there and
everything has to come up Lake Chelan on a boat or barge.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Elsewhere along the PCT from Red's Meadow to Manning Park was, to
me, reasonable and not overly expensive. Selection is spotty at many spots,
especially those that cater to fishermen and car campers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd suggest you learn to get a LOT more comfortable with mail drops.</div>
