Well, since I will be bouncing myself a box, I’ll be going through a lot more Post Offices than I had originally planned. So, feel free to ship me something, if you’re so inclined. Remember, I will have to eat it, toss it (cards & letters), or CARRY it. Please keep that in mind.
Also, if you send me something, you must tell me about it so I know to stop and pick it up! The earlier you know (like the day you ship it) the better. I may decide to speed up or slow down based on when the Post Office is open, where I am, etc.
According to those who have gone before me there is really only ONE reliable way to ship packages and that is Priority Mail. Not First Class, not Parcel Post.
Address each package:
(Hiker Name)
General Delivery
Town, State, Zip Code
Double-check the Zip Code
At the bottom left corner of each package write:
Hold for PCT hiker
ETA (date)
Also, write the last name in big, block letters on all sides of the box, in me and my cousin’s case, “DRESSER”.
I’m not totally sure which towns I will be going through, and you’ll have to follow the blog to have any idea of when I’ll be there, but here are some possibilities:
Mt. Laguna, CA 91948
Definitely staying there Thursday and Friday night next week. Better mail quick or I will miss it.
Warner Springs, CA 92086
April 15th?

Tehachapi, CA. 93561

c/o Kennedy Meadows General Store
96740 Beach Meadow Road
Inyokern, CA. 93527
That’s probably good for now. Kennedy Meadows, about 700 mile in, is “The Gateway to the Sierra”, and the end of the desert. I will definitely be stopping there, hopefully in late May. It would be cool to be there on my birthday (May 21st), but my new, slow schedule has me two days late. Guess we’ll see. Stay tuned!
