Mail Drops

Mail Drops: A fool-proof method to boost a hiker's morale. 

After a morning of running errands and finally sitting down to map out a haphazard itinerary, I believe we have finally figured out some mail drop addresses along the way. We welcome letters, candy, cookies, & hand warmers; you name it and we'll love you for it! Make sure to include your return address so we can send you a letter with a personalized update. Hope to hear from you!
