I'm going to introduce something new to letterboxing in South East
Florida....trail magic! If you have never heard of trail magic, let
me explain. In long distance hiking, such as the Appalachian Trail,
there is a strange phenomenon that occurs called trail magic.
Sometimes it comes in the form of cold juice boxes floating down a
stream or a hot breakfast station set up to feed hungry hikers for
free. Whatever it is, it is a rare occurrence and always spontaneous.
Hikers never know when they will run into it and some never do. One
of the things that makes it so special is that it is RARE!

I am going to RARELY AND SPONTANEOUSLY going to start putting an extra
baggie clearly marked as "trail magic" with instructions in my boxes.
The instructions will help people to understand this is not a
geocaching box or a hybrid box. I may do this with a new box or I may
do it in an old box while checking on maintenance. Obviously food is
a big no-no! I don't want to attract critters to the boxes. Examples
of my ideas for trail magic include: a small stamp or carving block to
be carved by the finder, temporary tattoo's for the kiddies, a dollar
bill, a special already hand carved stamp etc.

What do you all think of this?
