I will be in each of the mail drop communities.  All other communities close to the AT, I will be in for re-supplies or near.  If anyone wishes to join Simon and me on the AT, please compare the calendar dates/journal data to the small communities between the mail drops, and the mail drop locations. The locals within the small communities should easily spot a scroungy old lady with a black handsome lab. Good places to “catch up” with me are at the post office, AYCE restaurants, motels, hostels, and campsites.  Simon and I will look forward to your company on the trail. All ETA dates are just estimated and based on 15 miles per day; however, mileage will vary especially during the first month on the trail then increase as my body adjusts.
