Yesterday I sent an e-mail and filled out a form on Scout and Frodo’s website.\u00a0 You need to do both.\u00a0 They answered me today.\u00a0 I now have a ride from the train station to the Southern Terminus with an overnight stop at their house.<\/p>\n
I wanted to stay there for three main reasons.\u00a0 First, they supply at cost a couple of items I will need for the trail that I don’t want to take on the trip down.\u00a0 The biggest item is a gas canister for my stove.\u00a0 Second, it is going to give me an opportunity to meet a couple of my fellow hikers leaving on the same day.\u00a0 While we are all hiking our own hikes, for the first couple of days, these are the people I am going to walking and camping with.\u00a0 Finally, it will give me a chance to take some items on the trip down and mail them home before I leave for the trail.\u00a0 I will do one last shakedown, so some will be from my kit, but mostly it will be the clothes I wore for the train drive and my tablet and charger.\u00a0 I will bring a prepaid box from the post office.<\/p>\n
Most importantly, they do not accept donations, so it allows me to thank them for being so kind to strangers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
