Resupply Plan

to hike the trail it isnt without recommendation to have a detailed plan for each section and resupply point, some places you can find a town to buy food from, others are post offices only, or gas stations.. mmm hotdawgs... *cough

so after a not small amount of time we've been put together a plan of the total distance, with our resupply packages mapped out with addresses, and days of food needed at each point. The tool we used was craigs pct planner, a wonderful website to start picking out distances per day and get an idea of how long you have between points. based on the geography we have usually 5 days or so between resupply,so thats 5 days of food and maybe an extra ration in case of issh happens. we have intentionally started out slower with an average of 12-15 miles per day for the first 3 weeks, then it needs to ramp up to 20ish, we are expecting after a few hundred miles our poor legs will be stronger and happier to walk a lil further,it is not uncommon come the end of the trail to be able to hit closer to 30 miles a day without too much discomfort, so we'll see what happens
