Re: Reds Meadow/Mammoth Exit NOBO
yes, just discovered the closures around Kennedy meadows myself. ?Looks like I'd have to enter at Olancha Pass. ?Anyone done that entry point before?

Re: Reds Meadow/Mammoth Exit NOBO
There is a huge fire going on in the Kennedy meadows area. I think PCT is closed in that area.?
Am planning to do NOBO staring at Kennedy Meadows and exiting at Reds Meadow.? But just discovered Reds Meadow Road and associated trail exits are closed during the week this summer due to road construction.? Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative exit path to Mammoth? ? ?Trail entry/exits closed include Beck Lake, Fern Lake, Fish Creek, High Trail, John Muir Trail North of Devil’s Postpile, John Muir Trail South of Devil’s Postpile, Minaret Lake, River Trail and Shadow Creek.? They are open on the weekend, but plans would bring me to Reds during the week.?

Re: Reds Meadow/Mammoth Exit NOBO
You could try the Mammoth Pass Cutoff trail, at Upper Crater Meadow. This takes you to the Twin Lakes trailhead and a free shuttle into Mammoth Lakes.

Re: good freeze dried food sources
Are you looking for whole meals or ingredients? For ingredients I use Honeyville, Thrive Life, Karen's Naturals, and Auguson Farms. Packit Gourmet has smaller quantities of you don't need large packages. For meals, try Good to Go. Others listed here:?

Re: good freeze dried food sources
Mother Earth Products is another option. ?I buy bulk and then mix my own meals.?

That’s weird. I saw a picture of a temporary wood ?bridge“ which was also posted here The info does not match :/

Re: good freeze dried food sources
I'll also give a nod toward Outdoor Herbivore.? They ha e always been great and now are repackaged, like others, to prepare in the bag.? Their dehydrated hummus is better than any I e tried.
I like Good-to-Go as well.
Try Outdoor Herbivore. They sell things in bulk and packaged meals. Vegetarian or vegan and quite tasty Martha Martha Gilmore, PhD, CGP, FAGPA

? Harmony House seconded for veggies, plus Mountain House for their breakfast skillet. If you still have time to do any dehydrating at all, cannot recommend highly enough drying some cooked beans or kale/spinnach (ease of prep and preservation time). Also, store bought fine couscous, quick-cook pasta and minute rice are easy to throw into the pot for increased calories.

Re: good freeze dried food sources
I've used Harmony House for dehydrated and freeze dried veggies. Trailtopia has some (mostly meat) Side Packs.

Good luck!

The impression I got from another post was that it’s available for hiker use, but priority to be given to construction crews.

Thanks all.?
I just got down from the high sierra. We ran into thunderstorms for the first four days. We got rained on at Kearsarge lakes on Monday. Most people in my group got soaked.?
Tuesday, thunder started at 11am, so we halted at Charlotte lake. Major thunder in the afternoon.?
We should have crossed Forester on Wednesday, but given the forecast, we decided to change course and went over Glen Pass to Rae lakes. Again, got rained on in the evening.?
We day hikes to 60 lakes basin on Thursday and made it before it rained again.?
It finally cleared yesterday, we made our way back to Onion valley after a stop in Kearsarge lakes.?
Last year, hurricane Hillary happened when I attempted this section :).?
I will try again next year.?

No snow on either side except for the ever-present snow field on the North side. Easily walked over or detoured around.
