Did you say "Thank You"?

Did you send that summit photo you promised? Drop a postcard to that favorite hostel? Send a note to that maintaining club? No doubt you remember seeing those kinds of postcards and photos displayed proudly at many hostels, stores, and post offices. They really do mean a lot to those that receive them.
Mailing addresses for almost all the AT folks are in the ALDHA Companion or Awol's book.
If you need help finding any addresses, post here or drop me a line. I'm positive we can find any addresses you want.
Vistaprint will do 50 postcards for $7.50, Staples is about the same.
'Thank You!' cards come in 8 packs for a buck at Cost-Co.
You also can get creative - I remember Pat Shaw getting a 'Thank You' drop box of her own once, with a card signed by dozens of hikers, some cookies, and a hand-made hat and mitten set!

Thank you,
Teej

Yup, this is a fun thing to do. Add a URL for your journal, too, so folks who are interested can read about themselves in it :)

In addition to the places we stayed on the LT, my wife sent a card to the outfitter who fixed her shoe issues (she was really happy with them.)
