Mail Drop Logistics

[atwhispers]

Below is a slightly edited list of locations that I plan on going into town and checking the post office. If you wish to send me something, it would always help to tell me to expect something at a particular location (given "general delivery" is often just piled up in a heap and that I might skip a location otherwise). Don't send things anywhere I won't be at within 2-3 weeks and later locations may change. All packages should be addressed as they are below the lj-cut, but in general, they should say my last name and "Please Hold For AT Hiker!" plastered in huge letters all over them, or they won't get to me.
The first two mail drops are not to post offices and should also give my ETA (~4/25/06 and ~5/6/06) on them. The first suggests putting something to identify the package in a pile (like yellow hi-lighter) which would probably be a good idea for all packages, as long as that is communicated to me so I can tell them what to look for. All other packages are to be addressed to me at "General Delivery".
THe best map series of the Trail is here.
The first number is the number of miles along the Trail, the second number is the miles since the last mail drop, then there is the place, and for early locations, I give an ETA.
