[pct-l] Mailing Just Envelopes to Resuppleis

[Robert E. Riess]

Buy 20 or so envelopes from a stationary department.  Get distinctive 
looking ones and carry one with you to show to the clerk at the PO.  Be sure 
to write on the envelope that it is addressed to a PCT hiker and include 
your ETA.  First class will work.  Whenever hikers ship their bounce boxes 
from here to places up the trail, I always recommend they take a digital 
photo of it to show at the PO.  I also recommend very distinctive markings 
on the packages. Hike on !  Bob Riess at the trailhead.
