I forgot to mention, I very briefly heard from Jeff while he was gearing up at The Fontana Dam - just about ready to embark on the Smoky Mountains.
His package sent from Catskill to the Fontana Dam post office was lost in transit. The package contained supplies for his trek through the Smokies and he was pretty damn bummed that he would have to drop some extra cash at an outfitters nearby in order to restock on fuel for his camp stove and other goods he had meticulously planned to receive at this stop.
The package, sent through the US Postal Service, had a tracking number. We have now been told by a rep for the USPS that these tracking numbers are basically bogus and they had absolutely zero idea where his box is.
My theory? Jeff tempted the gods when he considered the trail name "Postmaster" and they are now teaching him a lesson in irony. Just like sixth grade English class.
