[cdt-l] Resupply by possible 2007 CDT Hiker

[Francis Tapon]

Caveman: This is a great site that gives free info on resupplying as you go
on the CDT:

Also, someone gave a website for Glacier, but pointed to an archived site,
instead of the current site, which is:

 

http://www.nps.gov/glac/

 

Happy Trails,

Hey Caveman,

Yogi's got a CDT Handbook, though the web site, pcthandbook.com, says that
the CDT Handbook won't be available for a bit.  The CDT Handbook has town
info, including shop-as-you-go info, as I recall.  Some places you have to
ship to, or hitch a long way to get to a store.  I have not seen many, if
any, hiker boxes on the CDT.

I may hike the CDT this year. It depends on a few things. On the PCT in 2002
I did one or two resupply drops and wished I had done one to what I think is
called Kennedy Meadows right before you enter the Sierras. For the most part
I was quite happy to buy my resupply in the towns the trail passes. Any
thoughts on how feasible this is on the CDT? Also do trail towns have hiker
boxes on the CDT?
