[at-l] first questions

[felix@uts.cc.utexas.edu (felix@uts.cc.utexas.edu)]

hi guys,

im new to the list and have some questions:

1. i need to start as early as possible without having to survive any
blizzards... im planning on mid march northbound, should i expect 4-season
weather? or is it too early to tell?

2. also, im a vegetarian and worried about my fat and protein intake on
the trail... any advice?

3. last thing, about mail drops: i have read that post offices along the
trail will hold packages for  a few days to a few months...is
there official post office policy on this?


thanks,

mike m
