Parcel in Manchester Center, Vermont

[Chabela]

Hello!

We are hiking the Long Trail this summer, and we are posting some food along the trail. With our current planning, we would be stopping in Manchester Center July 21st, which is unfortunately a Saturday. With our planning (we are short in time a bit), we would not make it before noon at Manchester, so the post office would be closed, and it would be impossible to retrieve our parcel.

Does anybody have an idea of where we could mail it, so we can get it on a Saturday after noon or Sunday morning ?

Thanks!

Manchester has a lot of resources for resupply. Depending on what you are planning to send yourself, it might be easier to buy your supplies there.

The new End To Enders guide has been delayed and is now supposed to be out this month, but the GMC (you can get contact info through the website) will supply a pdf of last years on request. I think the best way to get it is to call, but email might work.

I agree, Manchester is an excellent resupply point. I sent a mail drop there but could have very easily purchased all that I needed in town.

Have a GREAT hike!

Don't miss "Up for Breakfast" while in Manchester.

Hello!

Thanks for your comments everybody! I will try the Visitor Center in Manchester Center.

We are sending some stuff more for ease-of-use than because we are affraid not to find anything. Like mixed nuts packages (with pre-calculated calories!) and small portions of peanut butter!
