[pct-l] Yogi's Guide for Oregon Section Hike

[Dennis Phelan]

Yogi's book is fine, but so is Half Mile maps and Erik the Blacks guide
book.  Erik's new version will be a lot better than the older versions, but
it is not available yet, but will be in plenty of time for your hike.
Oregon resupply strategy will depend a lot on if you are planning on
purchasing as you go or you are doing mail drops.  In my opinion mail drops
work much better.  There are many places that accept and hold packages, but
don't have stores.  The stores that are available are small, with limited
supply (unless you want to live on pop-tarts and candy bars) and usually
high priced.  Using mail drops I think the longest you need to go is 3 days
between points.
