AT Preparations

I'm home this week in Urbana Illinois with my mom making final preparations for starting the AT.  I ordered supplies on line and had them sent to her.  I was greeted by piles of boxes with dried food the Ramen noodles, Knorr pasta sides, Mountain House freeze dried lasagna and the like.

Other necessities like tissues, wet wipes, toothpaste, water purification tablets, dried fruit, trail mix, granola bars and jerky had to be bought on line or locally.   Then I got twenty boxes from the post office and packed it all up. Today I mail them off to the twenty places where I'll pick them up (post offices or hostels etc)

Now, what about a "bounce box?"
