I'm posting the following message at the request of the Potomac A.T. Club:

2006 CARETAKERS NEEDED FOR BLACKBURN TRAIL CENTER

Owned and operated by the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, the Blackburn Trail Center is located on the AT, 12 miles south of Harpers Ferry. Blackburn is a premier stop for AT through-hikers and day hikers alike. It is also used for PATC conferences and training workshops as well as PATC member rentals. The caretaker’s duties will include maintaining the Trail Center, Hiker’s Hostel and campground. Should have experience in offering comfort and company to weary AT hikers. Flexibility and ability to get along with wide variety of people a must! Prefer couple with knowledge of the AT and hiker’s needs. Very modest stipend offered along with a fabulous summer experience. Dates runs from mid-March through October.

Dangit, Doc. Why'd you have to join the Army? If we were available, I know this is something we would have been interested in. Maybe some other time.
