After thinking back on my experiences I remember quite a few of those. I had
a problem in that I couldn't easily hitchhike with the dog, so there were some
times when I had to carry a week's worth of food. It gets much easier when
you finally get into Virginia, where I resupplied about every 4 days. I
carried way too much food anyway (or at least too much of the stuff I didn't
like to eat). There are so many variables in 2160+ mile hike that you can't
make a general rule on anything, but this discussion provides good "food for
thought".
