Hi All,
Last year my Search and Rescue team (Shenandoah Mountain Rescue Group) put on a great trail magic day at Ashby Gap on the Saturday before Memorial Day. We got a about a 20 thru hikers and about 5 section hikers and a bunch of day hikers. It was a good time. I plan on doing it again this year but wanted to throw out a few questions to some of the more experienced members:
1.) When going through the Roller Coaster was there any specific thing or item that would have made a great Trail Magic item?
2.) While we had a lot of food items, we found a lot of folks were in need of a variety of medical and clothing items. Was there anything during this section of the hike that you needed more than others?
3.) If we had published our outing on White Blaze a few days ahead of time, would you have adjusted your schedules to attend our get together or would it have been dependent on where you happen to be on the trail?
4.) Last one: What what the one thing you needed or finding yourself most wanting to have or resupply on the trail?
Thanks a bunch,
Tooth Paste.
