[pct-l] Letters from home

[Jackie McDonnell]

If you're expecting letters, it's a good idea to tell the Post Office clerk to look for your General Delivery boxes and letters.  Often the letters are kept separate from the boxes.

it's also good to mark it PCT hiker too then they know to look for a resupply 
box to put it with. And have a special stamp or sticker on it. Last year I 
practically got into a fight with a PO worker b/c she insisted my box wasn't 
there...as I stood there staring at it! I had to ask her like ten times to look 
at the box for the sticker and she refused and said it wasn't there....uh ok lol

They will. When I was on an Americorps term in BFE Utah, where I lived in a
USFS cabin with no address to get mail, my mom would send a big envelope of
my mail to the local PO, where I'd pick it up no problem. Same rules apply,
send it general delivery, with an ETA date printed clearly and noticibly.
