Re: Drop Boxes
A few posts back, dshep inquired about the mecahnics of being a trail angel and getting packages or letters to us on the trail.
In an earlier post, Billy Goat shared the PO Boxes and approximate dates of our arrival to those locations. If you are interested in sending us a letter or a package on the trail, please address as follows:
Pine Grove, Pennsylvania
PO Box 17936
Postmaster: Please hold for AT Thru-Hikers Paul Smaglik & Polina Makievsky
*** To be on the extra safe side, give us a call/leave a message on our cell phone (202-487-4977) and let us know where you sent the letter/package so that we're sure to look for it.
To ensure that we receive your letter/package, we recommend sending it so that it arrives no later than 1 week prior to our estimated arrival.
Dshep also asked about the kinds of treats that trail angels might send. Well - we're not very discimrinating in this department and will be quite overjoyed for any treats or well wishes from friends. Nevertheless, here are some suggestions:
* Edible treats (good chocolate is always a winner)
* Clipped magazine / newspaper article that you particularly enjoyed or thought we might enjoy
* Postcard / letter with greetings from you
* Clipped crossword puzzles from the paper (incompleted, please)
* Cheap H&M dazzling earrings so that Little Pony can remain fashionable on the trail (thanks Chris for that peice of wisdom)
* Sample size versions of body care products (creams, bubble baths, face washes, etc...cause we'll need it the one day we stop in a hotel)
And of course, we're open to surprises!

I'll be sure to keep you on your toes on the trail - with treats and encouragement!
I can't wait to put together a "Trail Glamour" package for Little Pony! Can you dehydrate cheese curds???
And what are the best days of the week for crosswords? I want to hit the right difficult-but-not-too-frustrating level...for maximum trail entertainment.
My friend and I were recently talking about technology, and how integrated it has become to our daily lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of downloading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.
