This is the first post on this site and I am doing so to let you know how much planning is involved for a trip like this. We currently have all of our back packing gear laid out in a room of the house and are going over our checklists and adding to what we already have.
We have had the food dehydrator going almost non stop for the past few weeks and will supplement what we dehydrate with food from a company in Bemidji MN called Cache Lake Quality Camping food. You can check them out at www.cachelake.com
We are currently waiting for the map set of the entire trail and once that arrives we will look more closely at where we will mail food boxes to.
The Appalachian Trail Conservancy has a great many recources that we have already utilized to help plan this trip.
At some point when I feel more ambitious I will post our gear list for you to review and critique.
