[pct-l] Shelter Cove

[weathercarrot@hotmail.com (The Weathercarrot)]

Hi - just found your message today. I usually don't go into the forum site - 
my post originally went onto PCT-L and Ron Moak forwarded it to the PCTA 
site. Was just curious tonight to see if anyone had posted a responce, and 
was surprised to find your message.

Shelter Cove is historically the same general area as Cascade Summit (which 
may be how it's listed in the Data Book - don't have it on me right now.) 
There's a lot of conflicting info as far as which address is the correct one 
to use for a maildrop there. For the moment I wouldn't trust the Data Book 
one until it's confirmed. I didn't use it as a maildrop last August because 
I got off there to visit friends, and when I went through in '98, I think I 
sent to an old/different address.   One thing to be aware of - hikers last 
year had heard that maildrops could only be received via UPS, but when they 
got there, found out that US
Mail would have worked fine. Sending from Ashland, UPS is much more 
inconvenient than the PO.

I'm sending this out to the PCT mailing list as well. Perhaps someone there 
can confirm the current address for Shelter Cove Resort.

Thanks for your generous offering of information Weathercarrot, which has 
caused me to totally re-work my resupply strategy. I'm up to Oregon now but 
couldn't find anything mentioned in the Data book about "Shelter Cove 
Resort" where I would also like to receive a maildrop. Can you let me know 
exactly where that is and any other info? Thanks again for your enormous 
help!
