    Default Looking for a mail drop in northern PA

    I'm looking to do a mail drop in northern PA. Our group is going through town on a Sunday and would prefer not to stay in town for the Post Office to open. I'm striking out in my efforts to find a business that will take a mail drop that is open on a Sunday. Any ideas? Are there other viable (preferably without a hitch) mail drop options either a day north or south of Port Clinton?
    The key to success in achieving a goal is focusing not on how far you have to go, but rather how far you have come.

    On the south side of Port Clinton, PA, the A.T. crosses the Schuylkill River Trail rail-trail. At the A.T. crossing, this rail trail parallels, slightly higher on the hillside, the active railroad.
    0.8 miles south ("east" in the A.T. sense), this flat, surfaced rail-trail crosses under PA 61.
    A scramble (no worse than what you will see on the A.T. in Lehigh Gap) gets you up to the shoulder of PA 61.
    0.4 (yes, less than 1/2) miles south on PA 61 is a traffic light, Lowland Rd according to Google (I can't remember) but big pedestal sign for Walmart.
    0.4 miles back that road is Super Walmart #4612, 1800 Tilden Ridge, Hamburg PA 19526, 484 668-4001. Total 1.6 miles from the A.T.

    The days of Port Clinton being way back in BFE are long gone.
