Mail Drops

A lot of planning has gone into our upcoming A.T. hike. What gear to use? Where am I going to sleep every night? Where am I going to get food? Answers: We have all of our gear now. We know we are going to tent as much as possible, and if not, then stay at shelters, hostels, or motels. As for food, most of the way we can stop in small trail towns and buy food along the way, or hitch a ride if the town is a few miles off the trail. In some cases, we need to send ourselves food via the post office, if the town doesn't have a market or convience store. We have choosen 6 mail drops and 2 hand-delivered drops from Bonnie's parents, who will be joining us in both NC and NY. What's in this mail drop? Food that is easy to cook, for example: dry soups, dry potatoes, pastas, rices, cous cous, nuts, dried fruits, etc.
