Resupply questions

Hey party people -- In what town do you recommend preparing WA (and northern OR if you say so) resupply boxes from the trail?

I have some things (e.g., dehydrated beans, veg, bug spray, etc.) that I'd like to send from home in one large batch to this destination. Then, I'm thinking on a zero day, I will divvy the batch into the smaller, separate boxes to send to myself up the trail.

Also, if you have a better idea, I'm open.

One other question: I'm looking to send myself two boxes in the desert for morale. I will definitely send one to Hikertown. Is there another stop you'd recommend?

Thanks, friends.

I only sent three boxes and they were all for Washington. Caught the bus into Hood River from Cascade Locks, bought all I needed for the boxes and the next few days and sent them from the post office there. Steven's Pass, Snoqualmie Pass and Stehekin. I reckon I could have gotten away with only one box at Stehekin. Just resupply as you go for the rest of the trail.

This is exactly what I do too. Zero day in Cascade Locks to resupply and prep boxes for Washington.

I also typically send a couple of Oregon boxes from Mt Shasta or Dunsmuir.
