[pct-l] Drop Box Wish List

[Kevin]

That's a neat idea too. I'm not sure I would want to trust an write trailing to someone that doesn't understand the trail. 

I think I'll just let everyone know my resupply schedule and let then send whatever they treats they want. I like the part about signing up though. "Adopt a Stop" sorta thing. I'll send my box of food, but they can send treats or something.
