[pct-l] starting at ADZPCTKO and (vegetarian) resupply strategy.

[dicentra]

A lot of what's in my book, and on my site is geared towards being able to go into a grocery store and put meals together - no dehydrator, no internet shopping (more the book than the website).

I would imagine the Bay Area would have a pretty good selection of groceries.

I'm planning on getting food as I go. Just trying to figure out if I'll be able to get enough food in tiny towns with only convenience stores if I start with the pack and end up in town with many other hikers.
I'm in the bay area in California, but lived in Seattle two years ago. Still miss living there.

Are you don't resupply/bounce boxes or planning on getting food as you go?? If you are in the Seattle area, I'd be happy to help you with food prep and planning

I'm curious about what you all think is the best time for me to start my
thru this next spring considering my resupply strategy...
I plan to keep maildrops to an absolute minimum... as in none if possible.
Instead, I'll be going the resupply-as-I-go route along with a bounce box
for more difficult resupplies. I am not really concerned about doing it this
way as I'm not picky at all when it comes to food... gas-station-esque junk
food is all I seem to crave when I'm hiking anyway. However, I am a
vegetarian which may complicate things a bit. I'd really love to go to the
kickoff because it sounds amazing, but I'm concerned that if I start with
the crowd, I'll have problems finding enough food in the smallest of towns
during the first month or so. I've been thinking of doing what some do and
start a week early and hitch back for the kickoff, but if I could avoid
doing that it would be really great. Also, I'm a pretty quick hiker, so I
don't want to risk hitting the Sierra too early if I start before the
kickoff.

Anyone care to weigh in and help me make up my mind?


I hope you're all enjoying the summer,
Julian
