    Cool My mail drops

    I have everything done, wanted to post something, so this is all I have to talk about .

    I tried to hit Post offices that were close to the trail, that also had Grocery stores near by, this way I dont waste a lot of time in town and can keep on the trail as much as possible.

    Whats in them:
    - maps
    - High dollar food, energy bars, a few gels and so on - dont want to spend 3.00 on a energy bar out in the middle of no-where, when I can buy it here for $1.00 - $1.50.
    - Hard to find foods.
    - Razors, tooth paste, T.P..
    - Replacement zip lock bags
    - Foot powder (in zip-bags)
    - New shoes I broke in already - of course not in every drop
    - What ever family members add to the box when mailed out.

    Here are my drops:
    1) Hot Springs NC - 185 miles from start - 2 maps
    2) Damascus VA - 186 miles from last drop - 3.5 maps (had to cut this one)
    3) Daleville VA - 255 miles from last drop - 1.5 maps
    4) Waynesboro VA - 135 miles from last drop - 3 maps
    5) Front Royal VA - 108 miles from last drop - 6 maps (all small maps)
    6) Duncannon PA - 180 miles from last drop - 3 maps
    7) Unionville NY - 200 miles from last drop - 3 maps
    8) Salisbury CT - 153 miles from last drop - 3 maps
    9) Hanover NH - 250 miles from last drop - 2 maps
    10) Gorham NH -145 miles from last drop - 3 maps
    11) Caratunk ME - 150 miles from last drop - 3 maps

    One drop will be hand delivered at Harpers Ferry.
