[pct-l] continuing the photo question

[freehueco at yahoo.com (Michael Deitchman)]

 Eric, 

 I think you will have a hard time finding drugstores
(at least ones equipped with photo labs) in the local
towns along the PCT. 

 A better option might be to buy a portable cd burner
(there are some available that will burn directly from
the memory card). Then you can send the CDs home as
you go. You could put the cd burner in your 'float
box'.
