As you
all may know, The Big Walk is going to take me approximately six
months. While the months of my walk pass, I will be re-supplying with
food
and other gear by drop boxes sent to predetermined USPS locations
along the way (see list of drop points and P.O. addresses). If you would
like to send me any correspondence while I’m on the trail, please
send it to my home address. There, my support team, Mom & Dad,
will include your correspondence with my next scheduled re-supply
box. This approach will ensure your correspondences reach me as well
as
prevent any confusion for you, me or the post office! Also, please
note there will be a delay in my receiving your correspondence, so
be patient! I will get it! I have provided my home address below
and I thank you in advance for your letters and support. ~

If you still wish to send
anything directly to Mark on the trail, the following is
a rough estimate
of when and where he will be. I'll do my best to keep these
dates as accurate as possible, but they can and will change
as Mark finds his pace. Be sure to allow plenty of lead
time on packages, and its a good idea to
start using priority instead of standard ground after he
gets
through
Virginia. Packages should be marked "Hold
for Thru-Hiker". If you have other questions regarding
packages, please email
me.
