I wonder if this "trail angel" uses waypoints to mark where his "trail ma=
gic" caches are located? Is there a double standard here? It'll be inte=
resting to see if now that this information has been released, if the Nat=
ional Park Service confiscates these caches too! If not! then I see no r=
eason why geocachers couldn't place geocaches along the trail every few m=
iles. We could put our own provisions (Band-Aids, games, puzzles, batter=
ies, etc.) in the caches. The follow-up story could be titled: "GEOANGEL=
S through and through."

Does the National Park Service confiscate this stuff, too?
"From Springer Mountain in Georgia to Maine's Mount Katahdin, Pegg
enjoys a rock star's renown. The 59-year-old retired prison guard ... is
a "trail angel." =20
"During the nine-month hiking season, he distributes "trail magic" -
free water, food, and other goodies - just about every day to
through-hikers traversing New Jersey as they attempt to walk the entire
2,172-mile Appalachian Trail. =20
"He sweeps out trail-side shelters and leaves behind cookies, hard
candy, foot powder, Advil, and Band-Aids. =20
"He fills gallon jugs with water and leaves them on stretches of the
trail where water is otherwise hard to come by. =20
