I figure on carrying 10 days worth of food to cut down on maildrops. Has anyone else done this? I have tons of food home and I would LIKE to resupply my food using maildrops instead of buying what I already have. I notice alot of the PO's are 9,11,13 miles off-trail. What is the most efficient way to access these PO's? I also have seen that people say they leave their pack in the Hilton, and take a nice packless walk to town for resupply or whatever... Is your pack safe in a shelter for 10 hours while you walk to and from town? What I'm asking I guess are the logistics of accessing the towns that are a day's worth of walking off the trail. How do you guys make the best of this? Also, others' maildrop schedules would be appreciated for reference. Thanks everyone.
