General Delivery: How to receive mail on the AT

by Adelaide on May 20, 2009

I’ve been wondering about how to keep in touch and get mail from my friends on the trail, and I just found out one way. The post office offers a service called general delivery.

This means that if someone writes me a letter addressed like this:

Addy

c/o General Delivery

Small town near the AT, State, Zip code

I can take a picture ID to that post office and pick up my mail. Handy, eh? I’ve heard that some businesses along the way offer the same service.
