Message Body:
Greetings!

I would like to have Clair Tappaan Lodge (www.clairtappaanlodge.com)  added to the Trail Angel List.  We have hosted many thru-hikers in the past.  The Lodge (operated much like a hostel) and it's regular guests love having the thru-hikers here.  We have overnight accommodations in single gender dorms or group rooms, with family style meals included in our reasonable rates.  For a small day-use fee showers, hot tub and laundry machines are available.  The Lodge is located 1.5 miles from the trail on Donner Pass in California.

Thank You,

Peter Lehmkuhl

PCT Trail Angel Near Mill Creek Fire Station

Mary Main – Trail angel in Acton, CA, Call/text Mary at 661.713.5204 I moved closer to Mill Creek Fire Station and will be mostly concentrating my shuttling from there to Acton KOA and the cities nearby for urgent/important cases. Uber and LYFT do go to Mill Creek now for non urgent rides. Which is good because I like to help with the complicated situations that might involve researching services and helping with multiple consecutive rides like ; finding the right care for injury, a pharmacy visit and a hotel- and then help back to the trail when recovered, or for other important stuff like a lost phone, broken equipment, etc. Over 800 rides since 2015 and loving almost every minute. email: [email protected]

Subject: I want to be a trail Angle
Message Body: I live in Seiad Valley in Northern California. I want to see how I can be a trail angel here. I am a caretaker for a property and the owner asked me, what I thought about hosting folks for the pct. Thought it was a great thought. I can offer showers, a place to camp,  wash clothes, get a drive into store or town. Willing to BBQ also. I have heard the out ragest cost some places have. So I would like to do for a lower price. I don’t even know what to charge or how to even help. I don’t work because of spine injury and surgery so meet and greeting will be good for me. Please let me know. Thank you.Tel: 760-909-0566

Me and my wife are hiking from PA to CA  I was diagnosed with lung cancer and only have limited time my doctor said its a small amount of cancer cells and that this hiking trip could very well help me beat it but I'm not relying on that we want to follow our dreams and goals out in California before and if I may pass away. I've heard about trail angels helping but I don't know much if there is any such people but the help would be appreciated across this trip thank you ahead of time to anyone who can help and we will work for help if you need help with anything! Hope to hear from some of you soon leaving in a few days

Pacific Crest Trail Angel in Kelso Valley serving Lake Isabella, Walker Pass

Message Body:
I live in Kelso Valley,  part of the Kern River Valley in California. This summer I have given several PCT hikers rides from Lake Isabella to Walker Pass and brought hikers from Walker Pass to Lake Isabella. I also did specific rides to the Lake Isabella Post Office and the Vons Parking lot. I have a double cab Chevy Silverado truck with an 8 foot bed covered by a camper shell, room for 4 people comfortably (although I did transport 6) and their gear. I am a Registered Nurse that has lived in the Kern River Valley for 34 years. I enjoy meeting the PCT hikers and hearing their experiences. I can meet hikers and transport them from Kelso Valley Road where Bird Spring Pass intersects, anywhere on Hwy 178, Lake Isabella, Walker Pass and anywhere in between. I can be contacted through my e-mail for advanced transportation notice or if I see hikers on the road, I will pick them up there! I do work 3 nights a week but I can assist hikers as best as I can.

Hi! I am planning on being stationed with my trailer and large amounts of water at the Scissors Crossing juncture all of March and April.  I will be on the South Side of S2 where the hikers will be coming out of Mt. Laguna into Shelter Valley.  I will also have shade, chairs and other necessities such as  Band aids, postcards, phone charger brick and miscelaneous items to help PCT hikers through this dry tough section.  Can't wait to see you there
