Independence Resupply @ USPS
Hey JMTeam - I am planning on having someone meet us halfway through the JMT at Onion Valley. They have agreed to help us with our resupply, and we are looking for the most efficient (and cost-effective) way to get these people our resupply package.
Ideally, we can just drop off our resupply package in a box at the USPS in Independence and have them hold it for 13-14 days (we are happy to pay) until our friend picks it up and brings it to us at Onion Valley Campground (Kearsarge). We don't want to pay shipping if we are driving past the post office anyway and can just drop it off.
My question is, does USPS provide this service? And/or are we overthinking this, and is there a better way to do this?
Thanks so much, first time resupplying and doing the JMT, so any other advice is greatly appreciated.
Best,
Dan
