I’ve got Mail drops planned for Jonesville and Johnson. Does anyone know if, and where, white gas is available at these locations?

You may be able to find White Gas in Johnson. Stay at the Awesome View Hiker’s Hotel. Al will be more than willing to take you into Johnson to find some fuel. But make sure you contact Al and Alice in advance to make arangments for staying at their humble home. They are really great people. In case you don’t know you can contact them by calling [802] 635-7834. They maybe able to answer your question. I’m not sure that you will be abel to find White Gas in Jonesville.

I can check Jonesville for you, seeing as it is only a few miles from my house. Give me a few days and I will get back to this post with the info.

On my last two thru hikes of the LT I decided to cache fuel drops and it worked out great saving me time and hassle. I used spare MSR fuel bottles and in three locations near road crossings stashed them in the woods. The fuel was fine as the bottles seal tight. Once you pick them up you can either return after the hike to pick them up or mail the empties back at the next PO. Just remember to make a good note of where you stash them as once I spent 45 minutes in the rain trying to find one.
