Message: My husband and I are long-term trail angels in Idyllwild. (“The General” and “MamaJeannine”). Could you amend my bio to include my husband? We’ve also started a local “Idyllwild Trail Angels” page on FaceBook. Please remove “accepting only female hikers” as we’ve gone coed. 😉 We also are accepting/mailing packages for hikers since our PO has limited weekend package hours.  Also, if you could work in my cell number and that it’s best to text me that would be great. (951-256-0421)
Thank you! Jeannine

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.

Trail Angel near Elk Lake Resort in Bend Oregon

From: Amanda Baker <[email protected]>
Subject: Bend, OR trail angel sign up request.

Message Body:
My name is Amanda Baker. Bend, Oregon has been my home for 24 years. Elk Lake Resort is only a couple miles from the PCT. With 48 hour notice or more, I can offer assistance at this point of the trail at Elk Lake Resort. Examples: picking you up and taking you to REI, post office, getting food. Bend is a 40 min drive away. I am off Cascade Lakes Highway often in the summer, camping, running, fishing, ETC. I love doing support for ULTRA distance runners and have wanted to help on the PCT for a while. Thanks!

Message Body:
My family and I will be doing multiple weekends (not sure which ones yet) at the Sunrise Trailhead just north of the Laguna area.  We will there on weekends starting early March through May.  Chairs, recharge station, cold drinks, burgers/brats, salad, first aid (we may be joined several times by the Nursing club from the community college where I teach) and drives into Julian if needed.  We'll also make sure (once again) that there is water available at the trailhead if the regular water source fails again.  We'll see y'all there!

Email me from the trail if you need help in the area.

PCT Trail Angel in Seiad Valley

From: Jesse Valenzuela <[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
