You can found the Antarctic Trail and hike all the way across. That way, if your ankle starts hurting again, you can just put some ice on it.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe this idea is best left to the "tourons".Grant Hutchinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02994804382222961239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900446.post-1154006680720963742006-07-27T06:24:00.000-07:002006-07-27T06:24:00.000-07:00"How to mail packages for free" is a bit of a simplification. Many thru hikers use "bounce boxes" to keep things they might need every week or two like nail clippers or complete guidebooks (they usually only carry a photocopied section of a book and burn the pages they have already used). They will ship this box to themselves "general delivery" in some town ahead on the trail by priority mail. If they get to that town and they don't need anything in the box they will "bounce" it ahead to themselves general delivery in another town because the post office will forward unopened priority mail boxes for free. <BR/> So my post was a bit inaccurate but that would have been to much to have put into the main body of the text. <BR/><BR/>No Worries<BR/><BR/>AdamAdamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13601919522964554525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900446.post-1154002778208496742006-07-27T05:19:00.000-07:002006-07-27T05:19:00.000-07:00Thanks for writing this up--it was fun to read. So, are you going to tell us how to mail packages for free, or is that a trade secret?Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06860423060691279906noreply@blogger.com
