[at-l] BookCrossing

[bluetrail at aol.com]

If you're doing hiker support, a nice treat is to tear an article out of a magazine, staple the?articlew together, and send it in your package.? (I favor Vanity Fair articles, but YMMV.)? 
If the hiker doesn't read it all in one evening, he/she can carry it along at minimal weight.? If he/she finishes it, it can be passed to someone else or used to start a shelter campfire or simply packed out..

### Thoreau would be numero uno on my list. But I read Carlos Casteneda dropped 
off by The Ice Cream Kid from Penn to southern Maine -- and he often left them 
in fire towers. Kewl.
