mailing maps

[squeezebox]

I spent most of today figuring out 14 places to mail my ATC maps to. They are roughly 150 miles apart. Some of these places are pretty small, so I'm not sure if some of them have a post office, or other pick up point. For that matter how do I find the zip code for places like Masoon ME. I can post a list if that would help. A list of your food drops might be helpful. And you might drop at some of mine.

Do you have the Companion or AT Guide? These would give a real good idea as to how far off the trail the post offices are. As well as the zip codes.

These are the mail drops I used on my thru hike, I tried to limit these to the post offices closest to the trail.
