Interestingly enough, this information is usually collected only in print 
with a price tag attached to it! Dispersing info in print is slow, costly, 
inefficient and stays outdated for long periods, but profitable.

If you want detailed mailing info that is free, current and widely available

Further, anyone can add resupply locations at their descretion. If you find 
info that is out of date, contact the author of that info electronically and 
it will be updated faster than print could ever hope for.

Granted, this novel approach takes money out of certain pockets. And, um, 
we're all broken up about that. ;)

Most importantly, it serves the hiking community, hikers helping hikers. 
What a concept!

I have noticed a large variation in supply data from Wilderness Press, PCTA 
and Yogy's PCT Handbook. Just in the area from Wrightwood to Tehachapi.
  Is there a reason for leaving out certain resupply points? (Acton, The 
Saufleys, Highway 138 Country Store, Lake Hughes, Hikertown) These places 
seem to be left out on purpose from one list but appear in the next. Or is 
it just natural variation on information gathering?
