    Hiking sticks at trailheads

    Do any of you recall that someone use to carve walking staffs that were very beautiful and leave them on trails mostly at bridge sites in massachusetts for hikers to find and use. I have run into two hikers at different times with these walking staffs both were very pleased to have found one.
