Is this the correct way of addressing my first mail resupply box??

Name Hold for AT ThruHiker ETA
C/o General Delivery
Hiawassee, GA 30546

Or....

Name Hold for AT Thruhiker ETA 3/22
C/o General Delivery
118 N. Main St.
Hiawassee, GA 30546

Im trying to print them out online, and its requiring a street address.....i didnt think a street address would be needed if you put c/o General Delivery??

Check out this website (http://www.sophiaknows.com/summerhike/at-sample-label.html). It has sample labels, a label maker, and a handy list of POs. I copied the labels over into a Word document, so my folks back at HQ could just insert the town infor, print it off, and send it to me.

If you are sending a maildrop to a busy hostel or even the PO... it helps if your box is distinctive... use a bunch of kids stickers or even a taped on playing card!
Then you can spot it with no trouble.
