[pct-l] Check Cashing

[kcristler]

I would think you would be very lucky to find an establishment that would 
accept an out of town 2-party private check!

Sorry, I should have clarified. I realize a debit card is the way to go, and 
is what I WILL be using. I don't ask because I want to write a check myself 
and have it cashed. I ask because I have a friend that is willing to send me 
money (if need be) after I'm on the trail, but doesn't feel comfortable 
sending cash through the mail.

Hi Jeff -

I don't know of any check cashing services, but would guess that if you have 
checks, then you have a debit card. If so, then any Post Office will give 
you cash - I believe up to $50, if you make a minimal purchase. Also, large 
supermarkets [Safeway's, etc.] will give you cash if you make a purchase 
there with a debit card.
