Please, 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 and 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 Costco.
You also can get creative - I remember Pat Shaw getting a 'Thank You' drop box of her very own once, with a card signed by dozens of hikers, some cookies, and a hand-made hat and mitten set! Pat really loved getting cards from 'her kids.'

Thank you!

TeejI surely enjoy receiving these cards from my former guests, I get kind of excited when I get one in the mail. Then I try to remember the hiker/hikers. Every now and then I will recognize one because there are some hikers that just stick with you long after they are gone.......
