2. Sign up to send mail drops to prearranged post offices and hostels along the route. These packages may be sent up to two weeks before the expected arrival date of the location. The post office/hostel will hold packages for a specific amount of time that is written on the outside of the package. Please e-mail Tina @ casakers@aol.com to sign up.

3. Bring supplies to prearranged drop off points along the trail. Take the hiker(s) to resupply or bring supplies with you. This allows the hiker to be refreshed and make contact with others off the trail, to check in with the drop off person and others at home. Please contact Tina at casakers@aol.com if you would like to help resupply hikers along the trail.

4. Hike the trail and spread the gospel to the world. You can hike for as little as a weekend, up to 6 months. Please pray about this decision. Ask the Lord to guide you in knowing how long to hike. Please contact Tina at casakers@aol.com if you would like to hike some of the trail and spread the gospel. Training time will be needed for this decision.
