To add to Jim Davis’ comment: J. C. Gayhartt, the owner of Trail & Ski in Tallahassee is very supportive of the Florida Trail. Their phone: (850)531-9001. I’m on FTA’s trail angel list, and could possibly deliver something from T&S to a hiker, at St. Marks or nearby trail crossing anywhere from J.R.’s store at Aucilla River to Medart area.

Thanks for doing this! I’m thru hiking the FT beginning in January 2012. One of my biggest concerns is the resupply options, because admittedly I am not the best at logistics. The information you have provided is very helpful. Thanks again.

Good, basic info on the FT. Having worked for FTA several years ago, I know that the route does change and that logistics can be a nightmare. Also, just wanted to add, that there is an outfitter in Tallahassee called Trail & Ski. They are very friendly people, and I’m sure if you called JC with your problem, he would do whatever was needed to help you out.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Good info that I’m sure folks will find helpful. I’m going to be hiking some sections in the panhandle this winter, and then continue to go farther south each year. Thanks again!

Wow, what great info! I’m adding the FT, or at least parts of it, to my to-do list. Thanks for the post!
