[Cdt-l] Yogi's CDT Handbook re: distance between resupply points

[Jim and/or Ginny Owen]

You still need to do your own research on this one.  Only if you are 
following Yogi's exact route will your numbers be the same.  In some cases 
there are multiple entries to a town (i.e. Lincoln or Steamboat) so your 
resupply distances may be very different.  If you choose to follow different 
trails, as most CDT hikers do, your mileage may be radically different from 
Yogi's.

So you still need to spend some time figuring out YOUR route before you go 
and figuring out YOUR probable mileage.  We stress this on our website.

The CDT is not the PCT or the AT with one common route that everyone 
follows.  Every hike is unique.  If you trust someone else's mileage without 
checking to see whether you may be doing a different route, you could find 
yourself being very hungry.  Of course, as we point out on the website - if 
you miscalculate, we won't miss any meals.  <g>
