Hi friends!

I'm planning to ride from San Francisco to Yorktown on the ACA Western Express and TransAmerica trails next summer. After lots of reading, and based on the type of eating I plan to do, I am considering purchasing a JetBoil stove system. However, my roommate/riding partner has expressed concern about the availability of the isobutane-propane fuel canisters, and how long a stretch you might expect to go before finding a store that stocks them.

Does anyone have any experience with keeping stocked on this fuel across the US, or especially on these routes? Should I reconsider my stove choice in favor of a different fuel option? I live in a fairly densely populated (by people and REIs!) part of the country, so I don't have a solid idea of what might be easy or hard to find elsewhere.

Thanks for any advice or suggestions you might have to offer!
