I’m planning on carrying 3 days of food for the Happy Isles to Tuolumne Meadows section ...then will resupply at the Tuolumne Meadows General Store for 3 days of food to carry me to Reds Meadow.

At Reds Meadow I will resupply again at their General Store for four days food supplies to carry me to VVR & then onto MTR.

At MTR I will pickup my “Resupply Bucket” which will cover me thru to Whitney & Whitney Portal.

Does that sound like a logical plan or should I throw in a Resupply Bucket at Reds? Thx!!

there are a lot of variables here. if you could give us the info from here it would help a bunch

BBart - welcome!
Big advocate of taking one's time and sampling all the JMT has to offer. (Once did it in 16 days...another in 32...longer was better.)
Sounds like a good plan - hitting all the stops. (Don't forget your plastic at VVR.) Suggest though, while at Reds, (get a milkshake!) and then take a zero day and shuttle up to Mammoth Ski area ($7 round trip) and then free shuttle down to Mammoth and Von's. Cheaper than a Reds resupply.
BTW, how many days are you taking?

A typical plan is to go from Reds to MTR. It is from MTR to Whitney that you will be weight and bulk challenged. Some leave the trail mid-way for another resupply. Best to check out the Yahoo JMT group for this kind of info.

Thanks all!! Mark the plan is to take 21 Days total. This is all really dependent on the snow levels this July-August and river water water crossings levels.

Thx again everyone for your feedback
