Ahhhh... I see-- no wonder you feel the way you do about the trail feeds. It makes sense. Btw.... I like your explanation a lot more than Malto's.
JK, Malto... THanks for sharing, PF.
I've never participated in an organized "trail feed", myself. I'm interested in helping out sometime with one, only b/c I read about one in a log book, near the Blue Ridge Parkway. (in my backyard) Someone had gone up there close to July 4th, this year, to provide food for hikers passing through. The ones that were writing about it were so appreciative & it sounded like something I would like to be a part of sometime. I just thought to myself after reading that.. SWEET!
The place that "whoever" set up this thing up, did it in a perfect place b/c resupply options are few and far between. It was quite a distance from Daleville & resupply heading North from there is not great.
But, I have to admit, when I come back home and read comments on here about how people feel about this type of thing, I'm conflicted. Maybe I shouldn't bother.. just forget it. What do y'all think?
