[pct-l] Loading GPS Data while mid-PCT

[Steel-Eye]

Good morning, Bill,

I had the same concern while planning for the contingency of a bad snow 
year.  My conclusion was this:  I have several GPSs because I like back-up 
gear and they are relatively cheap, for example, the last Geko 201 I bought 
new on E-Bay was around $60 delivered.  I had planned to swap GPSs by mail 
in the resupply boxes similar to the way I will exchange SD cards for my 
camera.
