[Cdt-l] Lima, MT to Darby/Silas, MT

[ron guay]

I've noticed in the handbook (PG 215-216) that some hikers resupplied in
Lima (mail drop) and then again in Sula/Darby (mail drop/buy).  I think
this is close to 225 miles.

Can an average NOBO hiker do 25-30 miles/day through there?  It would be
nice to skip that 14 mile hitch into Leadore, ID.
