Grocery/convenience stores are marked POI before upcoming campgrounds to replenish cooking supplies along the route.

There are also a couple of tasty stops along the way that are POI, but just a couple. That's it. Plan ahead. This is very important - PLAN AHEAD - resupply spots are sparce along the route.
