My Actual Resupply Locations
I was fairly happy with my resupply strategy , I did add a few places along the trail . There were only two places that i was disappointed with and they were Echo lake and Castella
Echo lake they were not very Hiker friendly but if you have a mail drop grab it and leave, There was a well stocked shop but it was expensive , many hikers headed to South lake Tahoe so that may be a better choice . Also the Chevron at Castella was poor in 2014 apart from its great beer selection, I waited here for several days as i was waiting for a replacement back pack other hikers went to Dunsmuir .So i would recomend sending a mail drop here too
I resupplied all of Oregon from Ashland and all of Washington from Cascade locks
I tended to use Post offices and so several times arrived too late :0( . But there are other options !!!! HYOH
