Thanks for the reply!

I'm actually coming from the east via the ACA route, so prior to reaching MRNP, I will be cycling over White Pass. So, I willbe entering the the park via Ohanapecosh.

Once I reach Paradise, I will descend to Longmire and cut through on a forest road to Skate Canyon Rd (avoiding the duplicate route through Nisqually gate/Ashford) and loop back to Packwood, where I plan to continue south towards Randle/Iron Creek CG.

It will be a long day, so being able to lighten my load for the first 47 miles of the day would be useful.

Thanks agin for any help or advise of safe ways/places to stash gear.
