Mail Drops

Being away from everyone out in the backcountry for five months makes it a little hard to stay in touch. After much debate I’ve decided not to bring a cell phone with me and will just rely on pay phones, post and whenever I can get online to update this blog to stay in touch

However I would certainly love to hear from everyone and it actually won’t be too difficult to send letters along the way. I already have a list of the towns I plan to resupply in and anyone can send a letter or package addressed to me to the local post offices along the way. I’ve composed a list of all the mail drops below. If you would like to send me some mail, please use First Class mail (which is the normal regular mail). Any packages must be sent though Priority Mail via the US Post Office otherwise they may get lost. However you send the box please make sure that I do not have to sign for it.  Please recognize that the dates I have listed below are only tentative but if you can get it there a couple days earlier that would be best. To be safe I would send it a week before the date I'm due to arrive in town. I will keep the dates updated as I go.

If you do want to send me mail please label as follows:

Then at the bottom left corner please write:
