I wouldn't mail anything important to Ollallie.  I mailed there in 2002 and 
2003 and didn't recieve them. The first time was probably only allowing  2 
weeks, The second was the big fire last year, I think they held them up at 
the post office.
Ya pretty much need a parcel there cuz the little store is hard to resupply 
out of. I wouldn't send gear or  anything you couldn't hike without.
