Good morning!

Yesterday morning I went and hiked the Marlboro Trail @ Monadnock, and I found a trekking pole that someone left behind.

I'm almost completely certain I know who it belongs to, as we had a very specific interaction.

If you were there yesterday morning (1/28/23) and lost a trekking pole, please message me and I will easily be able to confirm if it is yours.

I realize they may not be on reddit, and I'm not on any other site or forum for hiking, so if you can pass the word along (or post), I would appreciate it.

I would love to get them their trekking pole back.

Thank you!

Probably should’ve just left it there leaning against the trailhead sign. It’s kind of you to try and find them though.

I'm new to hiking in general, so I didn't even think or know about that.

Is that how it is generally handled? I'd like to know going forward.

I think it’s more likely they would get it back that way. Chances are the owner isn’t on Reddit. I wouldn’t worry about it though.

I've posted and am waiting to hear back from someone who was on the mountain yesterday. I'll keep you posted.

Edit: it wasn't the guy people thought it might be. I'll let you know if I hear anything else.

I appreciate you trying to find the owner for me. I’m still hopeful.
