    Question Supply / Rest stop?

    Where on the trail do you feel there would be a need for a good rest stop (bed & breakfast / hostel) / resupply/drop place? Meaning you would like this sort of place in a particular spot along the trail that does not already have one already.

    Maybe you could open one and teach those people how to smile?

    If you had to pay the going rate for real estate in Kent you wouldn't be smiling either - or building a hostel, for that matter.

    Default re: Supply / Rest stop? Port Clinton, PA

    While I haven't sectioned this area of PA, I understand from reading others journals that the Port Clinton area is a poor resupply. Many thrus mail drop Port Clinton.

    There may be other opportunities in the Duncannon to Deleware Water Gap section of the trail as water is often a problem mid to late summer in that section.

    Nearby Hamburg has a Redner's Supermarket, about 4 miles away from PC. Then there's Cabela's about 2 miles away with a free shuttle if you can stand the pre-packed dehydrated food

    Port Clinton would be a great place for a hostel even though you can stay at the pavillion free.
