jsaon from Eureka Springs AR on 1/23/2007 5:21:25 PM:
has anyone had any experience in using the post office in some of the towns for a resupply point?
thru hikers use this method for extended trips that help lighten the load, shipping themselves clothing, food, medicine, ect.
I am planning a there and back from clinton camping and would like to travel light for ten days or so.
I have called some of the post offices and they don't seem to have the experience with this that the P.O.'s on the Pacific coast trail or the appalation trail.
any thoughts?
