Connecting Alabama to the Appalachian Trail
Mail Drops
The Post Offices around the Pinhoti Trail probably aren't too familiar with
hikers sending stuff to themselves, but General Delivery is a service that
has been provided by the USPS for years and you shouldn't have any
problems. If you are in doubt, need directions or operating hours, the phone
numbers are listed here.
Please mark all of your packages with the following information:
Your Name
ATTN: Hold for Pinhoti Trail Hiker
ETA 00 / 00 (appx. date you'll pick it up)
General Delivery
City, State, Zip Code of Post Office
Holding times may vary but most PO's will hold a package for 2 weeks. Be sure to
include a return address on your package. Don't ship anything that is flammable or
anything that will rot / spoil.
