[pct-l] Mail drop timing

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good morning, Catherine,



I agree with most of the previous comments.  The average resupply increment
is about 5 days and that’s about the time required for USPS Priority Mail,
so I rely upon two such increments.  My thoughts on resupply are at:

By the way, I have great respect for anyone who undertakes to support a PCT
hiker.  Everything on the trail is so much more difficult and "iffy" without
some stable, reliable support.  Bless you.


Enjoy the season,


Steel-Eye
