John and Linda are wonderful people who really like to help hikers. Unfortunately some hikers take advantage of this but they continue to open their home to hikers anyway (so far).
Go the mile to their house and you can be sure of a place to camp, water, and a cold shower, even if they are not home. If they are home and have time, they may help you get town food and provide entertainment including a BMX show, trail stories, pictures and music, and pictures/movies of wildlife. He also does shuttles and will help in emergencies. This in addition his trail maintenance and monitoring.
John took us up to the trail after dropping his son John off for school. He then waited for our call and brought us our packs in Wind Gap.
Thank you to The Mechanical Man!
