Pinkham Notch Visitor Center - Mail Drop?

[Wrangler88]

(SOBO)

I'm not saying that I'm going to send a mail drop to Pinkham Notch, but I'm looking for possible places through the Whites to send a mail drop that'll be easy to pick up.

Would this be a good place for a mail drop? - Trying to stay on the trail and get through the section without having to take time out to go to town to resupply.

Also wanting to keep a pretty light pack through this section.

Any advice? Hours of opperation of the visitor center? Proximity? - Right on the trail?


Thanks

It's totally easy to pick a drop up at Pinkham Notch (AMC facility) and makes sense since they are open all the time and you're right there! :) Just have an ID ready.

Crawford Notch campground also accepts mail drops. It's down the road about a mile though from the trailhead, but we got a day hiker to bring us down. And if you stay the night there at their hiker bunkhouse, they shutte you back in the AM. But I would call them to make sure on these facts - since we did this back in '07.

All the time? - As in everyday or 24/7?

They are open every day that I know of. Times may vary though. But check the AMC web site.

There is at least one employee on duty 24 hours per day 7 days a week as there is lodging next door at Joe Dodge lodge. Getting your package shouldnt be a problem.

Thanks a lot everybody. This sounds like a great place to mail drop. If it turns out that I want/need to do one here.
