Hmmm....Duncannon has a easy-access post office. And, there used to was 
a motel at the truck stop. I'm not sure if that's still the case. There 
is at least  a mini-mart for short-term resupply. And, a good burger can 
be had at the pub/bar place on the main drag. The only reason I stayed 
there was so I could watch the Steelers and eat pizza with Pittsburgh.
Hmmm...Boiling Springs...A good Italian restaurant with HUGE calzones. 
And, there was a BP station here that I ate all the hot dogs on the 
red-lighted turning wires. There is a grocery store, but it seems to 
have been a ways out of town.  ( I had a great night at the Landisii' 
house)

There was a small grocery store a little west of the AT on US 30 
(Caledonia). I ate a box of those little powdered-sugar donuts and drank 
a quart of half and half. I don't do that often enough anymore.

Harper's Ferry is where Jim and/or Ginny will pick you up and take you 
wherever they are living at the time. I grocery shopped in Silver 
Spring, MD!!

Cloverdale/Troutville is pretty much a 'must stay' place. It is all 
right there before you: Motels, buffets, AYCE Restaurants, truck stops, 
most supplies and grocery stores. The post office is a long-assed 
dangerous walk, though. 

Pearisburg, to me, is a dump. I've stayed there two times. In the 
future, I'll just resupply and go. 

Adkins has a mini-mart for short term and a motel right there.  And, if 
you play your cards just so, you might meet someone who'll eventually 
own half your stuff...(and, with any luck, you'll own half of his/her stuff)

Damascus is Damascus.

Erwin is almost a must just because it is a long way between towns and 
Erwin is sort of a time consuming town (spread out and not right on the 
trail) 

Hot Springs is nicely convenient. I didn't shop there....so, I don't 
know where the groceries are.

I didn't stay in Franklin (got a ride all the way to The Highlands. 
Wherever the heck that is) 

Hiawassee, GA is kind of a must...either because it's your first or your 
last, for the most part.
