I called him and dropped it off there that week and he wasn't there but he left a $10 bill with a thank you note for me.
On the last day of a three day backpacking trip in PA I stopped to sit down against a tree. My cell phone fell out of my pocket. Several days later my mom called my land line to tell me someone from Ohio had called about my phone. A couple hiking the same trail a few days behind us had found it. The husband mailed it to me. I bought him a $40 REI gift card and mailed it to him.
