Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Well here's some good news...

I got the new REI flier for the sale that starts on the 3rd of Oct. It seems the new Merrells that I paid $120 for on the 6th of Sep are going on sale for $85 on the 3rd. They have that 30 day price drop policy and all. $35 bucks will get me a tank of gas in my lawn mower!!....................................DUG

Of course I just ordered a few things today ... dangit! It's a bit harder dealing with that sort of thing long distance. Poop...

Long distance? What do you mean? There's FIVE of them within 55 miles of me! The San Diego store is 10 minutes from work. Oh, you mean for Moosie. I guess that 3 1/2 hour drive I have to the Portal for me kinda evens the score, huh? How long does it take you to get to a trailhead?...............................DUG

I've ordered lots of time on-line with REI and they will ship to the house or nearest store. It's worked for me so far.

living here on the central coast...i have to mail order too!! I guess we aren't worthy of a store. Moose, I think REI will price check for you if you call them up. If you have their VISA they'll probably just credit your account. It's worth a try...I'm looking at purchasing that Sierra Design tent. It's cheap, but not being able to actually see it in person, I wonder if it's toooo cheap.
