[pct-l] Resupply points

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Seems like an interesting thing to do. Hopefully you don't  
underestimate your needs, you don't grow to loathe your food choices  
and your food is still fresh when you get there.

To anybody else worried about shipping, you really can do almost all  
the trail without shipping food if you aren't too picky about your  
diet. And you can shop and ship to yourself from the trail, too.

Never ship candy bars or other junk food. You can buy that anywhere.
