Skip the resupply headaches.  As I am planning my 2010 border to border, 
nothing made me more nervous then trying to figure out how to plan, pay 
for and ship all of those packages.  After reading some quality 
testimonials, I realized there is no reason I can't shop/fish my way 
along the whole trail.  Think of the money that can be saved in postage 
alone!  Of course I will carry some essentials for the unexpected, but 
beyond that, this choice adds another element of excitement to the whole 
enterprise.

On an unrelated note, I don't know what your comfort level is with snow 
travel and winter camping, but I'm leaving on April 1st.  Regardless of 
the size of the snow pack.  In my way of thinking, trying to gain a half 
or a full month of extra time means I get to take that many more side 
trips, that many more fishing days, and that much more time to sleep in 
and cook those fish.  I'm not necessarily looking for a trail partner, 
but having some back up when it gets steep and deep isn't such a bad 
idea either.  I'll remain interested in hearing what choices you have made.
