Ummm, did you maybe miss something? Peers is east of McKittrick not west, there are also the towns of Rhineland, Bluffton, Portland, and Mokane before you get to Hartsburg. Three if these towns have bar/restaurants, Rhineland Portland and Mokane, Bluffton has a snack shop right on the trail, and Mokane also has a small grocery store. Plus there are several B&Bs along the way.
