Our Path & Logistics


 "In every walk with nature one receives more than he seeks." - John Muir

Seth worked so hard to figure out the logistics for our re-supply boxes. We used Craigs PCT Planner and it worked great. All of our details are below, it includes how many days between stops, how many miles we plan to hike each day, elevation gain/loss, arrival dates and towns, and other little notes. This info will change as we go, but it's a good planning tool! 


Many friends have asked for addresses that we will stop at, so below we have highlighted all of the places we *intend* to stop. A week or two before you send something, please ask us if we are still planning to stop there so we can get the goodies! There are other towns we may stop in too, so we may have different addresses if you want to send something. Please contact us so we can plan when and where to get a box!

We are sending a total of 20 resupply boxes. Some towns have great restaurants and grocery stores and will be able to resupply there and fuel up with delicious food.
