[1] Mail all packages labeled as follows:

Christopher Mills

[Address listed in this column]

and place the following sentence an inch below the address:

Please hold for PCT hiker ETA ~ [the date I plan to arrive]

[2] This must go ground if it contains stove fuel.  Otherwise it is ok to send it priority 5 days before arrival.  The same applies for all other entries that say “ground”.

[3] This store charges a fee to hold a box.  It would be better to send a care package somewhere else.

[4] Place your phone number under your return address.  Packages are only delivered once per week, so be sure the Ranger has the correct arrival date (call him if it changes at 503-630-6861).  Mail this package early!

[5] This place charges a weekly fee to hold a package.  Probably better to send a care package elsewhere.
