post drops on the AT

“My nephew is planing to thru hike the AT when he graduates..08,or 09, not sure which year. he wants any info on where the best drops , best places to resupplyrae
any infor on sites or books or anything will be gratelly appreciated. thanks”

“whiteblaze.net (or .com?) is a wealth of info like that.”

“Definitely Whiteblaze. Get Wingfoot's book for more good info on mail drops, addresses etc.”

“part 1 of Baltimore Jack's resupply article: http://whiteblaze.net/index.php?page=resupplypart1”

“The Thruhikers Guide is a great publication, covering virtually everything you need to know on a thruhike. Most thruhikers carry it with them.”

“i second what everyone else said. i havent read baltimores article, but i do know that he is arguably the single greatest source of info on the trail, having spent more time on the trail than i have in commited relationships.

i would also like to add: stick to gear and maps for your post office drops, buy food as you go. no need to waste money and time planning for and mailing food drops when there are plenty of trail towns within easy walking or hitching distance”

“having just read the article, i'd say hes bang-on!”

“hey are you rob from S.C????”

“Cloudwalker - there is no "i" in Hampton, TN 37658”

“but there is a "me" in "team"”

“Steven Colbert says there is an "I" in team.”

“that whit blaze site is super, lots of info. thanks everyone”

“Yes , John, it's me Robert”

“Thanks Cloudwalker for your site. thats exactly what he was asking for, post office addresses. and idea where he can find the AT companion or the thru hikers books?”

“Hog, DO you still have your web site? If you do, can you please give me the link so I can let him look at it ? Thanks”

“Check out the AT Conservancy website. Besides the bookstore, there is a lot of good information there.”

“website ??? I never had a website - the closest I came was a couple pages on StoveStomper's site which was moved over to Cloudwalkers site for a while and then deleted - so I guess you have to say I'm siteless ;-)”

“that's what I was looking for, thought it was your site. I remembered seeing it but couldnt find it . thanks anyway”

“website ??? I never had a website - the closest I came was a couple pages on StoveStomper's site which was moved over to Cloudwalkers site for a while and then deleted

I hosted Stovestomper's site on my server for a while but I deleted it at his request.

“Yes, CloudWalker was very kind.
Thanks again!!!”

“Sorry about that Cloudwalker - didn't mean to imply that the stuff disappeared without it being requested to be deleted”

“I had Cloudwalkers site in my favorites all the time. thats where I saw your page Hog, if I had remebered about his site. I wouldnt have needed to post. it has everything he needs, maps, drop sites and addresses, and other great sites to check out. great job on that site Cloud walker. now I just need to find some freezer bag cooking ideas for him. thanks again everyone.”
