[at-l] Food Cache

[WenchAT03 at comcast.net (Teresa)]

Hi Onestep.  I didn't cache any food on the AT last year, but hiked with a
guy who did.  He's on Trailjournals and briefly describes what he did in
this entry:  http://www.trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?id=51113  There's also
an email address listed at the bottom of his "About" entry so you might be
able to ask him questions about it.

I was around him toward the end of the hike, and he seemed happy with the
food caches.  If there are hikers heading into town, you might find a sucker
(like me) to carry your trash in.

Good luck!
:-)
