Thanks, Snownymph
One year we had some friends who were going to pack us in a resupply, but weather and sickness kept them off the mountain, so we were sort of in a bind, to say the least. I agree, leaving food in the bear boxes is not a good idea, and that is not my intent.
I was hoping to use the 55 gallon drum that is sometimes used by the packers to make a drop at the ranger cabin. That is sealed pretty tight. I did pay a packer once to make a drop for me at this location and their service was great...just pricey ($350 Yikes!). I am hoping they dropped it on their way in for something else as opposed to making the trail more dusty hauling in my stuff only.
My preference would be to just take care of it myself and know it is there waiting for me.
Thanks for the referral to Skibum.
