Mail to the Trail

Several people have contacted us asking how to mail something to the trail, so thanks for your interest. We love hearing from you guys!



The US Post Office will hold a "general delivery" package for us for 30 days, so mailing well ahead of time is a good idea. Just find and replace the Town/State/Zip from the list below as well as our estimated date of arrival.

Itinerary

We're still working out our trail itinerary...

Here's a link to a much-too-detailed itinerary. It's impossible to predict where we'll be any particular day, but being our first journey, Lauren found this method to be the easiest for planning sake.

Here's a quick version of our best guess:

• April 30 - Start the Trail in Georgia
• May 10 - Enter Great Smokie Mountain NP
• May 18-20 - Trail Days in Damascus VA (contingent on ride from/back to our trail location in N.C.)
• June 1 - Enter Virginia
• June 10-15 - Somewhere near Blacksburg, VA
• June 25-30 - Shenandoah NP
• July 4 - Harpers Ferry, WV
  
• July 11 - Halfway Point! Pine Grove Furnace, PA
• July 22 - Delaware Water Gap
• August 1 - Train to NYC for a short visit
• August 19 - Hanover, NH
• September 5 - Maine
• September 18 - Finish at Katahdin!
