As previously mentioned, your opportunities to purchase fuel will be at
Ponil and Baldy when you do your food pick-ups. One thing to consider
is that between your two food pick-ups you only have three days and
after Baldy it's a four day run back to base camp. Also in your first
three days, you will have a Chuck Wagon Dinner and/or/maybe Breakfast at
Ponil that won't require any fuel. Whether or not you heat water for
breakfast will also impact fuel usage.

Monitor your daily fuel usage during the week and try to get a good
average. Your Ranger may also be able to help as well. You don't want
to run out of fuel, but you don't want to schlep way too much either.
Happy Trails,
Roy Fisher
