AT Mail Drops

We've had many questions about how to send us mail and/or packages.  Thank you for your interest in further supporting us on this adventure!  We aren't exactly sure how often we'll be in towns to pick up mail drops, but as we figure it out, we'll certainly let you know!  We'll likely let you know a few weeks at a time where we plan to make town stops, and you can send items ahead if you choose to.  As we post our locations and plans, please send them packages ahead by two or more weeks to make sure we have time to get to a particular location, and remember we will only be connected about once per week.  If you are concerned about timing, err on the side of longer lead time.

Please note that if you choose to send a package or note, you must let us know where you sent it so we know to stop there--Even if it's on our list of possible stops!

How to address a package properly:

To a POST OFFICE:

 John Doe
C/O General Delivery
Trail Town, VA 12345
Please hold for AT hiker
ETA May 16, 2015

To a HOSTEL, HOTEL, OUTFITTER, or OTHER TRAIL FRIENDLY ESTABLISHMENT:

John Doe
C/O Hiker Hostel
2176 Appalachian Way
Trail Town, VA 12345
Please hold for AT hiker
ETA May 16, 2015

We understand that the second option is usually easier/better.  Please bear with us as we navigate the logistics!
