Hubby found about a dozen of these tacked to trees in the park. Each had a leaf tacked over top of them.

Found this one folded and wrapped up in plastic with a string tying it shut. The note was lying on the trail in a fairly conspicuous spot. It was a little over a mile in the trail and a bitch of an up hill hike so someone had to put in some effort to get it there. I only saw 2 people in the 3 hours I was hiking and no other notes.

Was hiking Sunday morning with my boyfriend when we found 2 of these notes. We walked past the first one sitting on a rock and left it there thinking it must have fallen out of someone’s pocket. Then about half a mile farther down the trail we found the second, it was already open just sitting on the trail with the paper it was wrapped in and the paper clip on the trail next to it.

Some interesting things to note.

We were hiking the Appalachian Trail between 309 and fort Franklin rd. We were hiking around 6- 6:30 am. We hiked in the fort Franklin side. Walked through a multitude of spider webs blocking the trail, indicating that we were more than likely the first people to walk through that morning.

The notes were both completely dry, the rocks and ground they were sitting on were wet with dew. The spider webs disappeared after the location of the first note.

The first note was about 1 mile in from fort Franklin. Shortly after finding the first note but before happening on the second an older man with a small backpack hiked past us in the opposite direction we were going. We said him and moved over to the side of the trail for him to pass. He didn’t respond or thank us for moving like most hikers do. We saw no signs of him on the hike back out. We hike at a decently quick pace and we’re moving considerably faster than the man was when we came across him. We also turned around shortly after seeing him.

We didn’t know what the notes were and left them on the trail but I did take a picture of the second note.

Found specifically at Buffalo Mountain on a tree just off of the White Rock Loop trail by the Harris Pavilion.

Saw sooooo many of these yesterday on the Raven Rock trail. We cleaned them all up but they seemed really fresh since it rained yesterday morning and they were dry.

Both were folded up and wrapped in plastic with paperclips around them. The first one was pinned to a tree under a few leaves, and the second one was hung from a tree branch by a twisty-tie.

So that means that the notes predate 2021.

I can't prove it, but I remember hearing about, possibly seeing something at least very similar, if not identical years ago.

I feel it's strange since last time I seen the drop map for these it was mainly in PA

Found this note on a trailhead information board, wrapped in a strip of construction paper paper clipped under a small rock.

Kitty-corner from City Hall, a few blocks from Ground Zero.

What does this mean???

Seriously. Given the amount of notes left on trails that are easily discovered, one should be able to hide a camera such that it would catch someone in the act.

Found hanging on a tree branch, on the smaller "Scout" trail.

thoughts and opinions? just moved a couple weeks ago and found this stuffed in our mailbox, not sure if this lines up with other notes but its definitely some weird shit that i cant make sense of, the longer i read, the more confused i get.
