Comment: I do shuttles in the Daleville Va area. I charge 50 cents per mile for section hikers & slackpackers. Free rides around Daleville. I’m not in the guide books but I do have a place in my home for hikers that are injured etc… It’s just word of mouth. I don’t charge anything to stay with me. I live 5 miles from the trail crossing in Daleville. My cell # is 540-815-1289. I’m known as HikerMom.

Comment: My husband and I live on the west shore of Tahoe and can assist hikers in South Lake Tahoe to the south and near Donner/Boreal area near Highway 80 into Truckee to the north. We are able to host and provide a safe place to zero out for a day or two, fill up on some home cooked meals, get some laundry done and get a hot shower and rides to medical if necessary. We never let anyone leave without a generous supply of our famous oatmeal scotchie cookies, a cold pop, a candy bar and a ham and cheese sandwich on white bread. This next year, due to popular demand, we’ll include a piece of fruit in that go pack. The only thing we ever ask in return is that while you’re here, that you check in with your family to let them know you’re ok. We do have a Border collie named Addie who will expect to be petted so please no one with pets. We are first come, first dibs in the guest room, but we have a pretty good sized deck and air beds can handle overflow.

I would like to thank Sam White for emailing the details below for the upcoming scheduled Tehachapi Meeting of Trail Angels on July 8 2014. The Meeting Notice can be viewed by clicking Here For meeting notice.
It looks like they have a wonderful network of Trail Angels in Tehachapi and I feel honored to have the opportunity to share this with you! Please let me know how else I may be of service! Eric B. Fuller, Hundy
Too many posts Sam White. Last one for tonight, promise.
I am seeking loan of laser for star program tomorrow night at Brite Lake for California Conservancy Core. Perhaps Dale Hawkins has one? Please check with him, but will accept any.
