Track Towns and Supplies

Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
Having freeze dried meals available at the visitors centers was great. The village grocers were good about stocking suitable trail food.

Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
The train and huts were mostly well maintained and having available water was wonderful!

Your Best Equipment
Gators and my sneakers.........oh and the fly net.

Your Worst Equipment
my shirt was a size too big and chafed my armpits under backpack straps

Advice for Others
Just get the gators and relieve snake anxiety. Also walking sticks as they create enough noise to get the snakes mostly off the trail, not to mention keeping you balanced over tricky terrain and a dandy place to dry socks overnight.
