Here's how the drop works: When we arrived at the AT Lodge, the Ole Man gave us a large bucket with a lid that we filled with our resupply. He labeled the lid with our names and described where he would be hiding our bucket--he's done this a lot, so he was able to give us a pretty detailed description. A day or two after dropping us off at Baxter, he drove the bucket out to Jo-Mary road and hid it. I was a little worried about this, but he said he's never had a problem with bears or people taking the food (ours was fine). So as a long way to answer your question, you don't need a time estimate aside from your food planning (we brought 2 extra days' worth and ended up needing it). Hope that helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04569283838928607095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446947885430151767.post-33493802205522479312013-01-17T18:56:15.073-07:002013-01-17T18:56:15.073-07:00So how do you manage those mid-wilderness resuppli...So how do you manage those mid-wilderness resupplies? Do you have to say I will be at Jo-Mary Road at such and such a time on such and such a day? I'm worried about setting any sort of deadline, missing it, and not getting my food.
