Are there any points on the trail where a resupply package must be sent where there is to great a distance in between any possible trail towns or lodges to stock upon goodies?

Just finished my website for the hike: www.jasonhikes.com

I'm using an embedded Postholer journal if you want to see an example of that.

After reading Ron's deodorant thread....got me to thinking. Shampoo and conditioner? Do any other hikers worry about this sort of thing......or do you just wait to get into a trail town or hotel to get a good shower? I DO carry 2 small bottles of each because that is one thing I just have to do.....at least the conditioning part. Even if it's in a stream or campground faucet. So, Let's hear it......

Not that I'm all into the 'Peace' thing... But I this is cool... Will someone remind me on the trail to get lots of pictures of people doing this !?

I just vented my frustration via Email, to the PCTA - Not sure if any of you view my irritation with this the same way, and I truly DON'T do politics, but I take issue in the PCTA only offering FedEx (at insane prices)... It costs me $4 to send shirts to people via the USPS, so why $11 via Fed ex for a package weighing the same? "Dear PCTA,
Howdy.... I purchased a bundle of maps to distribute to friends a few months back and was saddened to find that you're not supporting the USPS - OUR MAIN SUPPLY LIFELINE on the PCT. Today, as I was about to buy the Data Book, I've decided something needs to be done about this. The shipping via Fed Ex costs MORE than the Data book, just as the maps that I purchased. I'm disgusted by this.
So as we're all gearing up to hike the PCT this year, (pinching pennies to do so) and I'm shipping all of my drops everywhere there's a Post Office available, I would like to know why the PCTA doesn't use the USPS !??? I don't care for politics and protests, but it's simply obvious to me that the PCTA is supporting the wrong shipping service. When you're posting about possible Post Office closures along the trail, did it cross anyone's mind that it's lack of support that's causing such closures?
Sincerely,
Ron Ulrich.
