Itinerary (resupply)

This is my updated resupply itinerary for the hike detailing the locations I will buy and send food to. Factors I have taken into account is how much food I want to carry after each resupply, which towns I might like to visit (motivated by available food and facilities), distance from the trail into town (will try to keep hitch hiking to a minimum Ma and Pa), and how long I can remain in my own filth for. I have averaged one day off every second week ( zero day = zero miles) and resupply every 4 – 7 days. I have used Craig’s PCT Planner to assist in the complex distance/speed/altitude calculations – amazing!
