Mailing Info

I do not have a resupply person at home sending me food at every stop.  I've never done a thru hike.  I don't know the type and exact amount of food I'll need for 5 months of hiking.  So I'm going to do this crazy thing called "buying food along the way".  I know most non-hikers buy all they're food on Amazon or something, but I recently found out that most towns along the hike have what I call food stores.  I'm gonna take a gamble and try it out...

BUT some towns have little food stores, so I will buy food at towns with big food stores and send it ahead to the little food towns.  Below is a list of towns where I plan to pick up or send packages.  If you want to send me a letter or a chair or something, the way to address the postage for each town is below.

Read these bullet points first!

• I have to ask for all my mail, so don't send "surprise" packages.
• Text me (513-678-9241) to let me know you sent a thing (and where it was sent)
• The ETA's listed are estimates.  I may be there a week, month, year later.
• Never use USPS Standard Post.  (I don't know why, the book told me to say it)
• Letters can be sent USPS Standard Post.
• Use the addresses exactly as shown below.
