[at-l] Have to Trail Towns

[Carla & Dave Hicks]

OTOH -- IMHO there may be gotta "Stop" towns -- but few, if any "Stay" towns.

Albeit as I have gotten older I tend to do more "staying", before turning 60 I 
seldom "stayed."  I'd camp as close to the next town as I could, reasonably. 
Break camp early and hit the trail w/o preparing a meal.  A handful of 
something dried.  A little water.  Some coffee grounds tucked behind the lip, 
like snuff*.  And off.  Hit town as early as I could.  Have a BIG breakfast. 
Do what needed to be done in town.  Have a good size lunch.  Hit the trail.

If you avoid dinners/suppers, partying, and motels, your town cost are far 
less.

* Later I learned for Chase how to make pouches from those coffee bags.  Neat 
idea.

Monson is a gotta stay. (Well, really, there ARE no 'gotta stay's )  You
are either coming out of, or going into the 100 Miles and will either
need to prepare or rest.
