How to send snail-mail

First of all, I am VERY excited to correspond with friends and family while on the trail. Writing letters is a favorite past time and I will happily become your pen pal. If you WOULD like to send snail mail or care packages while I am on the trail please follow instructions carefully.

1) contact me first by text or email to make sure I am still "on schedule." Letters should ideally arrive at the indicated post office 2-7 days before our ETA but with the high snow year there is great variability to our itinerary.

2) send all letters or packages USPS priority mail with some sort of bright identifier so I know what to look for

3) address them as follows
Hold for PCT Hiker : Chelan Pauly
