just ended up calling ron and he is going to pick me up at winding stair and drop me off so i can hioke back to my car.

its fine just keep it in a waterproof ziplock, i saw atleast two people using theirs( paper white) all the way to katahdin.

I used both the copper spur and the fly creek on my 2014 thru. I preferred the copper spur over the fly creek because of the entry. Ask yourself this question, would you pay someone a couple hundred...
