So, not clear here. Were you planning to go all the way out when you ran into the ranger or camp somewhere beyond Timberline lake? Also, if your trip originated from either Sequoia Kings or Inyo trailhead, you have to have a canister. Technically, you're not allowed to use the boxes unless you're a through hiker (e.g. doing the JMT or PCT). The idea of the latter requirement is that the boxes just got too full, people started hanging food and would then lose it.

I read your original post to mean you were heading up to Guitar or somewhere around there for the night ... .

thanks,
