[pct-l] Mailing drop boxes & Trout Lake WA

[Trekker4 at aol.com]

In Trout Lake, WA, I picked up a Priority box  because the next day was 
Sunday, but wasn't sure if I was going to forward it.  With the Postal Lady's 
permission to put it back into the system if it was  unopened, I left it at 
the Trout Lake Store on Sunday and moved on; they  returned it to the PO the 
next time they went, and the box was  forwarded. That may not work in a 
larger town or city, to take possession  and then put a box back in the system.
    
    BTW, Trout Lake is a great place to resupply, and  the Trout Lake Store 
people are superb. Traffic is light on Rd-23; just use  a sign to get the 
17 mi down to town. There are locals who'll take you back  up, either Trout 
Lake Store people or a couple of others (ask at the store). As  Yogi sez, 
donate heavily when you get help like that! Some will turn you  down, but 
always try to actually put the $ in their hand. 
    Also, don't go to Trout Lake if you don't like  huckleberries: malts, 
shakes, compote with cereal, pie, in bulk, etc, etc.  You don't need all that 
high fat stuff anyhow.
