You need to eat along the trail. In urban areas there’s
no shortage of food. For example, in Georgetown (C&O 1) you can hardly throw a
tire pump without hitting a restaurant. Here you don’t need our help to find
food. There are also restaurants near most indoor lodging. On some stretches,
though, food is hard to find, even a convenience store has groceries, and a
pizza shop counts as a restaurant. Restaurants and groceries come and go, but
it's useful to know which towns are likely to have something that will keep you
from starving. For current, more detailed information see the
