Thanks, Ken.  Your site is actually the one I've been going by for the last
long time.

The reason for my query was this page by the NPS:
http://www.nps.gov/crla/brochures/pct.htm

In which it states that " Liquid stove fuel may not be sent through U.S.
Mail"  I'm kind of hoping that they (NPS) just doesn't want to go through
the USPS regulations as you have done.

In any case, I'm thinking of sending my alcohol in a seperate box from my
food.  In case the alcohol doesn't arrive, any idea if the store there
(Mazama Village Store) sells fuel alcohol?  Any chance they have a phone #?

Thanks,

Jon
