[pct-l] Drop Box Wish List

[Lisa Freathy]

The posts these past days are getting my heart thumping with excitement... I 
love that I will be on the trail next year and I love hearing so many others 
talk about their 2011 hike! It has been several years of reading and talking 
with others taking their journey and 2011 seemed so far away... now it is almost 
here!


Ahhh, hiker drop box dreams. Mine would include...

~super salty, aged gouda cheese
~anything home made
~super yummy trail meals (like those in Dicentra's One Pan Wonders!) 
~any type of random surprise toy, game or fun thing (leaving that wide open for 
interpretation is even more fun!)
~notes of support and encouragement

I met two hikers on the trail last year who had friends and family "sign up" for 
a resupply box location along their journey. They gave some direction as to what 
would be good hiker food and how much would be needed for each box, but 
otherwise left it to that person as to what should be included. Each town stop 
revealed a box from loved ones with a variety of foods and other surprises. I 
thought it was such a terrific idea!!  

Happy Hiking!

Imagine you're out on the trail right now.
(Ah, doesn't that feel good?)

What are you wishing would be sent to you in your next drop box?

I was thinking it would be cool to randomly buy a few things from said wish
list and have it sent to randomly chosen hikers next year on their hike.

Just a pipe dream, probably won't happen...

But in case it does, what would you wish for?
