[pct-l] Kennedy meadows resupply

[dsaufley at sprynet.com]

You will need to send the package that far in advance for parcel post.  In fact, if you're sending parcel post -- send a month in advancee EVERYWHERE.  It's just plain terribly slow, and it's painful to see hikers who don't get their packages and are stuck waiting.  

USPS Priority and Express Mail are definitely faster, but I would not send less that 10 days before your intended arrival date.
