Couple of questions for recent thru-hikers regarding
mail drops - I thought I would ask the list before
making phone calls to the folks or post offices at
these locales.
Pink Motel: do Don and Helen mind receiving mail
drops at their place? Their address is listed in the
guidebook, and I can call them to check. But I
thought a recent thru-hiker might know whether they
were cool with being used as a drop location. (I
know...I'll miss the great selection in Cabazon and
seeing the dinosaurs...) (and I don't want to go into
Palm Springs either)
Cajon Pass: anyone ever used the Economy Inn place
near the Interstate as a drop? Was it OK? They are
also listed in the guidebook, and I do plan on staying
a night with them.
Kennedy Meadows: how was the food selection last
year? OK for two days if you aren't picky? (I'm
going into Lone Pine 2 days after KM)
Quincy: not listed in guidebooks, PCTA site or
Craig's planner as a place to get mail. So, I looked
them up on the Internet - 222 St. Lawrence St., Quincy
95971. Any reason they aren't a typical trail town?
Timberline Lodge: any reason NOT to have
friends/family sending mail and stuff to them? I'm
worried they are slow, limited hours or charge a fee,
though I haven't seen any info to this effect. I plan
to send a food drop there.
Woo! Getting excited - started dehydrating seriously
just last week, so the house smells "hiker-ish."
Thanks in advance.
