1. A shuttle into Fontana Village, instead of waiting 1.5 hours for it to show up.
2. Ice cream, instead of showing up only to learn that the store was closed this week.
3. A real outfitter, not just a poorly stocked corner of a store. Good thing we got fuel at NOC!
4. Cell sevice that did not require walking .5 miles uphill in the heat to make a call.
5. Internet at the store as advertised.
6. Sunscreen with SPF more than 15. Don't they have any other really pale people around here?
7. A campsite that does not have two bears and a deer running through it. At least there are several other people here with us, but hopefully the packs are still on the bear cables in the morning.
Overall Fontana Dam gets a grade of C as a resupply location. The people were really nice, the maildrop worked fine and a huge lunch ended up costing us less than $30. But wthout the maildrop it would have been a different story.
Its late...good night.
