I was just hoping some AT veterans could give me an idea of where a mail drop would be especially useful, such as where it's hard to resupply, or where its a good place to have maps and equipment ready. I want to use as few as necessary. I saw Fontanna Village mentioned, and Delaware Water Gap, but what about further north? Anywhere in between the two mentioned that would be especially important?
Also, how long will they hold it, generally? Do I have to have someone maill them as the months pass, or can I mail them all at the start? Can you send it to a hostel or motel that you don't plan to stay at? Or do you have to send it to a post office in that case?
