I live on the Benton MacKaye Trail, am a year-round “Trail Angel” and offer food, snacks, spring water, a hiker gear exchange box, and camping spot if need be. I love what I do and have met and serviced many hikers. It would be super nice and sooooo appreciated to be on the receiving end for a change. Thank you for what you are doing to promote hiking, as well. It’s the best and most rewarding outdoor recreation one can choose.
