The latest layers in the cost analysis are resupply: grocers, outfitters, grocers and walmarts. By layer, I'm referring certain facts being applied to the document one at a time. In this case, they will determine where it's best to have a zero day and resupply.
Now because of my planning formula being geared towards not pushing entry level thru hikers too much and trying to encompass the abilities of everyone, there are a couple areas already with excessive mileages that automatically result in a zero day and it doesn't matter if it occurs at resupply location or not. It's better to be relentless because when you put all this data to a map, you've got two track colors. There's green and then there's yellow (excessive mileages) and red (one amenity gap area on the Whipple Section). The cost analysis is also a mock hiker document that could be used as a diagnostic on the trail's logistical performance. The way forward has to be done with some logic to it. When it comes to beating the critics, it doesn't help if we're cheating ourselves. You've got to embrace the bad news, know exactly where it is, why and fix it.
