My son and I are going to be doing a 4 day backcountry trip in Shenandoah NP in about a month. We will be flying into Washington, DC and then driving to the Southwestern part of Shenandoah NP. Given that Esbit fuel tablets are not allowed in checked baggage, I'm going to need to find some somewhere after landing in DC and before heading into the woods. I see that there is an REI in Fairfax, VA. But that will be a little bit out of the way. Does anybody know if there is a place to buy fuel tablets within the park, or nearby? There are apparently camp stores at some of the camp grounds, but I don't know what kinds of things they carry. Are there phone numbers for the camp stores? Maybe I should hit the REI in Fairfax, just to be on the safe side?
Thanks,
Bryan
