I went from Waynesboro to Bears Den Hostel between resupply, so did not have
a drop in Front Royal. Sorry I can't help there.

I actually tried to use motels and hostels instead of General Delivery for
my drops, so I would not have to worry about the post office being closed.
It worked out very well. The only time I had to rush to make the PO was
going into Fontana Village on a Saturday...
