[pct-l] mailing labels

[kbrandt at cats.ucsc.edu (Karl Brandt)]

It's a matter of making things a little easier on the post offices. As it
is, thru-hikers are quite a burden on some of the rural post offices. If
you have your own mailing labels, that's one less thing you have to bother
them about. But strictly speaking, you'll be okay without them.
