[pct-l] Kennedy Meadows ADDRESS CHANGE

[jeff.singewald at comcast.net]

KM General Store is run by great people.  A word re: the resupply box pickup fee.  In 2006 it was $2.00 per box regardless of size.  I know of some folks that decided to ship multiple small boxes rather than a single larger box and were upset when they discovered the fee was per box.  Frankly, I think the owners could charge a lot more and are doing a huge service to thru-hikers.  It is amazing to see the number of boxes they receive during the thru-hike season.  I would have been happy to pay a lot more for my box that I shipped up there.
