This thread certainly seems to have come out of nowhere! But it
sounds like a fun discussion, so I'll throw in my two cents for what
I will do. Or might do. I still reserve the right to back out at
any time!
I'm looking into hiking the Appalachian Trail! I only got the idea a
couple of weeks back but took to it like a fish in water. According
to my "sources", the typical thru-hiker is thinking about the hike
for ten YEARS before starting the adventure, so I've got some serious
catching up to do! But wow, what an adventure! Over 2,000 miles
from Georgia to Maine and through 12 other states, on foot. They say
the elevation gain of all the hills adds up to climbing Mt Everest
from sea level to the top 16 times!
And I'm thinking of creating a letterboxing series along the entire
route. The world's longest letterboxing chain. I'm thinking perhaps
a letterbox every 20 to 25 miles sounds good (which adds up to about
100 letterboxes!) That might be a little too ambitious, though,
since I'll probably be too tired to carve a new stamp virtually every
day. Unless I can pre-carve most of them before I hit the trail, but
that's still a lot of stamps to be carving! And since Internet
access is limited when you're miles away from the nearest
civilization, I might not even have a chance to type in all the clues
for a hundred boxes along the way. But it's a dream of mine. =) A
series that stretches for over 2,000 miles along the east coast.
And if I'm REALLY lucky, I'll finally get a chance to meet a bunch of
you east coast folks I've always heard stories about and swap e-mails
with all the time!
But gosh, that's my next BIG adventure I'm thinking about. My feet
are sore just thinking about the trip, but my spirits are high! =)

I have been thinking about hiking the trail for a couple of years now
(so I guess it will be a few more before I actually do it) but when I
was first introduced to letterboxing an "AT series" was on the top of
my list. I have one box placed there already and a few more sites
scouted out for the spring thaw. I must say that anyone planting
boxes on the AT should be careful where they put them. The trail is
closely monitored and if the location is deemed harmful or to far off
trail the box could be pulled. Anyway, I think you're idea is great.
I am sure with some careful planning the logistics could be worked
out. Personally, I would love to see a daily diary posted online that
all of us armchair wanna-be's could read.

There will definitely be one of those on my website, although due to
the lack of Internet access on the trail, it might be "time
delayed". Even WITH Internet access I have a bad habit of writing up
my adventures weeks or months after they actually happen! =)
