[at-l] Resupply question



You have at least one major contradiction - without making it a race
and finishing by May 17th. Mt. Katahdin often doesn't open that early.

Another contradiction is trying to resupply as fast as possible. You
are neglecting the certainty of bad weather, injuries and
distractions/changes in plans.

If the plan is to finish between Jan 2 and May 17th, plan on major
resupply issues and the need to go for maximum mileage on a daily
basis. If the plan is to have a loooong section hike, take your time
and plan to do a bit of both mail resupply and town visits with at
least one of seven days for rest.

Good luck.
