Careful Mountain Dave. You'll give the federal bureaucrats a new idea on how to
make money -- they will attach a "user fee" to each package sent for a hiker to
pickup. First at the post offices, then onto UPS and private parties. After that
they will attach a surcharge to all food purchased by non-locals at stores near
the trail unless they can show the store clerk their RV outside. About the only
way to avoid all these fees will be for you to bring ALL your food from home and
start with a 200+ pound pack which will gradually get lighter at you get closer
to Canada. Cheers.  <G>
