Thanks for taking the time Scott. I guess i should
have included in my post that these are only Postal
Drops. (I hope it's ok i'm posting this reply to the
list too so nobody else misunderstands my list.)
I will be doing plenty of buy-as-i-go resupplies in
between the p.o. stops i listed, especially in
California. For instance, between A.D. and K.M., i'll
hit stores from Hikertown, Mojave, and Onyx. VVR i am
trying to avoid. My Mammoth stop is there as the
estimated as the point i may be at when i have to
leave the trail for a week. I'd actually be
resupplying in Indiana. I shortened Tahoe/Echo to
Tahoe...but i'll plan on making that drop at Echo
Lake. The Shasta stop i'm looking forward to despite
the hitch, because i like the co-op and a couple
restaurants there. I can make up a couple of boxes to
send ahead from that point.
Thanks for the input though!
