[pct-l] New resupply source in Independence

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good morning, Monte,



That’s good news.  I stayed at the Courthouse last time, and the Garzas are
fine folks.  I hope your supply recommendation included lots of taco-size,
mixed grain, soft tortillas. Those are just the right size to stack tightly
in a bear ‘can.
