I have some good news. Someone I know that lives near the 100 mile wilderness here in Maine</ST1:p has volunteered to do resupplies in the 100 mile wilderness at Jo-Mary road at the bridge over Copper brook. For more information and details you can contact this person by email at: svivor@midmaine.com. You can address the email to Svivor.

Resupply at Jo-Mary road or Whitehouse Landing may be nice, but for decades, all hikers made it through the 100 miles without resupply. It's "only" 100 miles, or 7 days for most of us.

wbdent Not all thru-hikers have gone through without a resupply. There have been people doing resupplies in the 100 mile wilderness for a long time for thru-hikers. Maybe you have just never caught wind of it. I know thru-hikers who have had stuff waiting for them at Jo-Mary road.

wbdent This person just thought they would offer to help. If any thru-hiker don't want the help then they need to take it. The option is not there though. But I know a few that have resupplied at Jo-Mary.

During my 2001 thru I sent a mail drop to White House Landing. In 2001 they didn't charge you if you stayed the night. It worked out well for me because I was hiking SOBO at the time. :sun

In 1991 when I walked Maine with a 9-year-old grandson, I had a brother meet our group at the Jo-Mary Road with some fresh steaks. It was a lucky decision. Just before reaching the road, a sister who was along for part of the walk, slipped on a bog bridge and broke her wrist.

My brother drove my sister to the hospital. Jon and I took the steaks and kept going north. We all met again at Katahdin Stream amidst 3 inches of rain, that delayed our ascent of Katahdin several weeks, long enough for the wrist to almost heal. It was interesting, however, to push a one armed person over the rocks of the Hunt Trail in early October, but we made it up -- and down.

I resupplied at Whitehouse Landing in 2004. I really enjoyed my stay
there but would have loved to have a simple resupply at Jo-Mary-road
instead as I spent much too much money at WL.

How can you stop at WL without having there giant burger and some
beers?

As WIN and I were SOBO'ing in 2002; we had the unique pleasure of being "resupplied" in the midst of the 100 mile wilderness by 14 French-Canadian women...

Pecan Pie and fresh 12" subs were just the ticket...

No complaints on this end! If someone wants to help out... I am man enough of a hiker to take the help!
