ride to town, a place to sleep and recharge, a day hiker offering me an apple, pepper, or an oreo, an oasis with ice cold coke, beer or fresh pancakes on an unexpected turn. I look forward to seeing and writing about the kindness of others. With this in mind I have been asked many times โ€œcan I send you a care package?โ€ and the answer is yes, absolutely, please, please, please, do! ๐Ÿ™‚ Anything consumable would be greatly appreciated and enjoyed!

Below are my approximate arrival dates and the address for the resupply points where an extra surprise package would be enjoyed if you feel inclined to send it. The package must ship via USPS Priority Mail (any other method will not make it to me unless noted) and be addressed as shown below. You must also put near the address โ€œHold for PCT Hiker Alan Underkofler ETA (add my ETA date)โ€. I would allow two to three weeks for delivery. Please email or leave a comment below if you send a box. Chances are the only way I will receive your box is if I know to ask for it! ๐Ÿ™‚
