[pct-l] post offices

[yogilists at hotmail.com (yogi yogi)]

The PO can't take anything unless it has postage on it.  I've even tried to 
leave postcards for hikers who were behind me and I had to put a stamp on 
the card---even though I was leaving it at the place where I was standing.

I've known hikers to do what you're thinking of---leaving their boxes at the 
PO to pick up later.  You have to pay postage, but at least you can pay the 
cheapest possible rates.  Parcel post, I think.  It's crazy, but since 
September 11th, the Post Offices are very picky on the rules.

What towns are you thinking of dropping your boxes at? I may be able to 
direct you to local businesses or motels that might hold your box.  Keep in 
mind, that it's always good PR to give the business/hotel a small holding 
fee.
