Hi Craig -

  You can open an account at many (most?) banks in the
US with two pieces of photo id, and an address (no PO
Boxes) where you will actually receive mail.  This is
so they can mail you the card.  I suppose that a
friend could forward the card to a general delivery
address along the PCT.  I would suggest Bank of
America since it probably has more branches/ATMs near
the PCT.   

have a great hike, Kent
