There is at least one every year for any service on the trail. Ron has been helping so many people for about 10 years (as I recall) that there is always bound to be one popping up. Ron has been trying to get Robbinsville to be a more friendly trail town for a couple of years now, and except for the customary places like The Hike Inn and Fontana Village, he has met some resistance from the community who seem to have frankly no use for hikers.
