Re: [pct-l] PCT@Crater Lake & resupply

Jen,

Here's a quick list of resupply points we used last year, 1998. I added a
few comments about the possibility of buying groceries in town. Like many
people say, as your trip progresses you'll find that your tastes change a
bit. If I had it to do over I would have bought groceries in town more
often than I did. Not only does it reduce the headache of boxing up all
that food, but it allows you to change your menu a bit as the trip
progresses and adds to your flexibility. Any questions, let me know. Mark
