[pct-l] Leaving a trace

[Bob Bankhead]

WHAT A MARVELOUS IDEA !

An attitude like this will go a LONG way towards making a strong, positive impression. So why didn't I think of this first?

  Something to consider:

  I had fifty micro-carabiners made up in the following manner:

  They weigh 1/10 ounce each.  I plan to carry ten max at any one time,
  I figure I can afford the ounce in spite of my overweight sleeping
  bag.  The idea is give one to anyone who provides special assistance
  along the way - gives me a lift into town, retrieves my resupply
  package with smile (or no smile, maybe), etc.  Something simple for
  them to hang on a key chain, maybe. I hope I get far enough to run
  out.  (I do wish I hadn't put the date on there.)

  Unfortunately these things cost money and if I was on a tight budget
  I'd probably pass on this particular item.  And they're no substitute
  for gas money.  But the point is - maybe you can come up with a clever
  and cheap way to leave a (positive)  trace with those you meet, that
  know nothing of the trail.
