We're not going to go to every post office/town along the way to ask if they have any post. We may not even go into town at all if we have enough food to make it to the next one. Nor are we going to walk back a few days to pick up mail we missed. It is for this reason that surprise packages won't work. You can let us know by emailing pct@brendons.com.
One of the most important things to remember is to tell us that there is something to pick up and if it is letter sized or package sized. If it is brightly coloured and easily visible then that's even better.
We have to carry everything with us or send it home, and some places are pick-up only so we might have to bin it. As Yogi says "If you send cute little stuffed animals, or toys, or books, we'll have to turn around and mail those home, 'cause we can't take them on the trail with us".
Since the dates are only estimates it is a good idea to send things with enough time to arrive a week early. It's possible we'll walk faster than we have estimated but in reality there will be days when we hike more and days we hike less. Our target time is Aug 14th.
When addressing the box/letter use the format above for the area that applies that way they know to put it in the pile of mail for the dirty hiking people with sleeping mats, worn out shoes and facial hair (a.k.a hiker trash). Don't use FedEx or UPS and make sure I don't have to sign for it.
