[pct-l] map drops

[patti kulesz]

The way I do it is only take the maps I need from one resupply drop to the next. 
So I first split them up in sections...then figure out where all my resupplies 
are going to...for instance if I was sending a resupply to WS, Idyllwild, Big 
Bear and Wrightwood...I wouldn't carry the maps for whole sections. I would only 
carry WS to Idyllwild, Idyllwild to Big Bear, and Big Bear to Wrightwood and so 
on. Some of the sections are long...like OOOOOO..lol so if u have more than one, 
which u will, resupply then u don't have to carry as many map pages.

I guess I should lay out my "plan" so far, eh?

drops so far in mind, since they are places I know I'll be or will have
another drop are Warner Springs, Hiker Heaven (Agua Dulce), and Kennedy
Meadows. And probably South Lake Tahoe. Warner Springs, because I'm having a
small food drop sent there and figured, why not maps too? I don't really
plan to have them spaced so close together the whole way, and even these
locations are tenative at this point.

Part of my confusion is I'm hiking with a partner, who's on the road as a
truck driver and I haven't been able to get into details with him yet. But
I'm excited to plan NOW, dammit! haha. Always trickier doing things in
groups rather than solo.
