If you are hiking the PNT near Northport WA and need a place to stay

Subject: PNT/Northport accommodations

Message Body:
I live a few miles from Northport WA. If you are hiking the PNT and need a place to stay, I have a bedroom with private bath, private water/dryer and private entrance. Just call me and I’ll come fetch you for the short 3.5 mile drive north to our family farm. I’m a true angel and won’t charge you a dime. Will probably feed you a home cooked meal too. I’m now 62 and will live vicariously through your adventures. You only have to share your stories of the trail. I also have a cabin on Deep Lake which may be more suitable depending on how many are hiking with you.

Drakesbad is open to hikers and seems this year, with new management, is more hiker friendly than with the last managers.

I saw this information online and asked Piper’s Mom if I could post it up here and so here it is: Hope this helps you along your hike!

“Drakesbad is open to hikers and seems this year, with new management, is more hiker friendly than with the last managers.  Breakfast and lunch are about $12-14.  There is a special hiker dinner for about $14 and you do not need reservations.  If you want the 5-star menu it is about $22 and reservations are required.  There is no laundry, being renovated.  Do your laundry in Chester.  There is a new shower for hikers only and pool use will be considered on a hiker-by-hiker basis.  All of this is from my memory because I am away from my information, but it’s close.  Good luck, it’s a wonderful place.

Piper’s Mom”

Meeting of Tehachapi Trail Angels 6/2/14 Kelcy’s 8:00 am
• Tortoise (Sam White) chaired the meeting.
• There were 9 PCT Angels in attendance. Introductions were made
• Anne Marie explained there are two PCT Angel lists. One with names and phone numbers that the hikers can call. There is a second secret list for emergencies or special occasions that Anne Marie can call.•
• Tehachapi Regional Transit will provide rides from Kmart to Cameron Road. 7 times a day. Rides cost $1. Departure times from Kmart are Mon-Fri 5:02 am, 8:57 am, 10:47 am, 12:47 pm, 2:47 pm, 4:47 pm, and 6:47 pm. Departure times Saturday are 5:02 am, 10:47 am and 2:47 pm. Departure times Sunday are 10:47 am, 12:47 pm and 2:47 pm. Hikers must tell driver they are going to Cameron Road when they embark. Tehachapi Regional Transit does not give rides to Willow Springs Road. There is a Dial-a-Ride service within Tehachapi. Call 1-800-323-2396. Reservations required at least one day in advance to guarantee a ride.
• Camp Tortoise, with room for 30 campers, is located at 129 E “E” Street. Primo’s restaurant, across the alley, has given permission for the hikers to use their bathroom. Sam will look into getting a donated port-a-potty.
• Airport – there are limited facilities at the airport – with room for 6 campers.
• Water – Every March, Tom at the Internet Café at Kennedy Meadows fills all the water caches from Tehachapi to Kennedy Meadows. He estimates his cost to be about $500. During the season, we need water information from Tehachapi heading north. Suggestions?
• Dr. Susan Hall – has agreed to treat hikers needing medical attention. If you have a hiker in need, call Dr. Hall, 822-4421 during office hours. Dr. Hall is located at 432 W “J” Street.
• Donations for gas – please forward any donations you receive for gas to AnneMarie. She will share the donations with all the drivers. (Perhaps drivers should keep track of their miles?)
• More hikers coming – this year 1700 hikers have registered to thru hike. It takes 6 weeks to get from mile zero to Tehachapi. Currently, we are at the tail end of the third bubble of hikers, so the majority have gone through.
