[pct-l] Packages to Canada

[Marcia Powers]

Valid points, Toga.

I have a couple more points. My home clothes did not fit me after a thru. I knew that was coming so I spent daydream hiking time (the was some most days on the PCT and absolutely no daydream time on the navigation ally challenging CDT) planning my new wardrobe that would fit my new smaller self. Reward yourself, Joyce! I wanted new silk stuff in myriad colors!

However, if you still want to mail, it sounds like it will work for you.
