If you want to see expensive, just wait until you see your tab at mammoth...be prepared to spend $100.00 per night for a Motel 6..that's the cheapest...and they fill up quick...Better to take the shuttle back to Red's for the night..<BR>
<BR>
And I was extremely disappointed in the restaurants in Mammoth...the visitor guide described them as eclectic..but i found them to be just plain pretentious with very average food....<BR>

Give me VVR anyday...just pay as you go and you won't suffer the 'sticker shock' that most people get when they have no idea how many things they are buying...<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> From: "Brian Lewis" <brianle@nwlink.com><BR>> Subject: [pct-l] Shuttle to Mammoth Lakes, resupply at Muir vs. VVR<BR>> <BR>> Oh wait, here's a catch: Muir Trail Ranch charges a whopping $50 to pick up<BR>> a package from the post office and hold it for you, per<BR>> http://www.muirtrailranch.com/resupply.html<BR>> <BR>> VVR charges $15 per box. OTOH, VVR's ferry shuttle is $9 each way<BR>> (http://www.edisonlake.com/shuttle.htm), so to pick up a box at VVR you're<BR>> likely already out $15 + $18 = $33 before you spend a dime on anything else<BR>> <BR>> at what's reported to be one of the most expensive places on the PCT. And<BR>> <BR>> there are only two ferry departure times per day (or walk another 4.5 miles<BR>> each way). Muir Trail Ranch is just 1.5 miles off the PCT, so their $50<BR>> charge isn't looking quite so bad after all . !!<BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Pct-l mailing list<BR>> Pct-l@backcountry.net<BR>> To unsubscribe or change list options (digest, etc):<BR>> http://mailman.backcountry.net/mailman/listinfo/pct-l<BR><BR></body>
