Hej Cristina,
this year I hike the PCT, with a start at the Mexican border in April. I hike nobo as far as I come. Will be at Tuolomne Meadows around July 1st and then continue over Sonora Pass to the Lake Tahoe area and further. I both receive packages which I had prepared before the hike here in the US, sent by a friend, and buy food locally.
Special condition on the JMT this year is the destroyed bridge over San Joaquin South Fork. See

My 2019 nobo JMT hike is discussed on the website in my signature:

This includes resupply options.

Hello Henning/Rest?
I habe two more questions:
1. not sure which route you did (sounds like too NOBO JMT) but are there any conditions on the (SOBO) JMT that one should be aware of? (Snow/flood/closures/reroutes/Critical river crossings due to too much water)
2. where did you restock on food? Did you send it there yourself from the us or did you use one of the services??
Will probably buy for the first part in San Francisco or bring it by plane and then send through a service to MTR. kind of a lot of days of food to carry ?
Not sure if red is helpful by getting 1-2 days of food from the shop there???
Thx
Cristina

?Thanks. Doesn't look the like the west side will be a problem. Based on those pictures, I don't see a need to even put my microspikes in my resupply bucket for Horseshoe Meadows.
Plan is to enter at Walker Pass (with a ton of water), resupply at Kennedy and Horseshoe Meadows, then go up Whitney. Exit from Onion Valley.
I'm? still debating if I should just continue up the JMT from there after resupplying down in the town. Prepping resupply buckets (got plenty of extra food on hand) just in case I decide push my luck.
My boss won't like it if I do. :)
I'm more likely to try to take a Zero Month and then restart NOBO in Mid August. :)
