RITBlake: Hello: This is Boarstone: At this time I am only asking for donations as you see fit. I live in the area of K.I. and am willing to help you folks out getting trough the "100 miler" I've done portions of it myself, I can realate! Please feel free to e-mail me about drops and I'll pick up packages at P. O. or you can deliver UPS at my door and I will deliver and repackage into plastic pail(s)
Boarstone, that's an awesome favor! You'll probably get taken up on it.
However, I can attest that the WHL is another great place for resupply. They have everything - fuel, plenty of food, deet, and while it's more pricey, it was definitely worth not having to lug the recommended 10 day supply. Plus, the boat ride across the "pond" was sweet. Just another option for you future SOBO's.
Good luck!

I can imagine that this could turn into a popular service, boarstone. I hope that you're still doing this when I do this section in 2013!
